Student Friendly
We've designed an intuitive and effective teaching platform with built-in learning tools that take the frustration out of learning text-based computer programming.
With friendly, informative error messages, pop out menus for more in-depth explanation, learning incentives, and a "Show Me" tool to keep learners from getting stuck, Blackbird's approach maintains learning momentum and makes learning to code fun.
Growth & Flexibility
Students can learn at their own pace, collaborate on projects, and eventually use our platform to write, test, and share their own code creations in our limitless sandbox environment.
Blackbird can be used as a stand alone tool or implemented as part of a complete computer science pathway in your school or district.
Teacher Friendly
Our platform not only allows teachers without computer science experience to teach coding, but they can learn alongside their students as well.
With a robust Learning Management System, instructors can manage classes, track student progress, comment on projects and communicate with students.
Blackbird is browser-based, so it's hybrid and distance learning ready.
