All coding projects can be completed in as little as one class period, or extended for those who want to dive deeper. To get started, log in with your individual credentials and navigate to the Creative Coding landing page. We’ll continue to add projects to more and more topics in the coming weeks, so visit often. Turn to our collection of support materials – ranging from video tutorials and lesson plans to differentiation tips and assessment rubrics – to familiarize yourself with the feature and pick up tips for working it into class.
