Code.org - coding courses & activities

If you don't have an account of your own, you may use a Harley-provided account to use until June when the school year ends. Here is the link. Use the Harley ID and "secret words" given to you.

Code.org

Code.org activities can be used without a user account, however, it will not keep track of your progress, or save your coded creations.

BEFORE CREATING AN ACCOUNT OF YOUR OWN... Check with your parents to be sure it is OK with them.

If you do not have permission, you will be able to use a Harley account during the six Saturday classes.

PARENTS/Responsible Adults at home:

To create your child's account on Code.org - Go to https://studio.code.org/ . (see the picture below)

If your child(ren) are 13 years old or older, AND you have an email account for them (school or personal), Select the email provider if you wish your child to use their existing Google, Microsoft or Facebook credentials to log in.

IF They are not at least 13 years old, then you can click on "Create an account" and follow the directions.

ONCE the account has been created, they can sign in later by typing in their username and password.

We will be asking them to enter a section code that we will give them in class so they have access to the assigned activities. If they are going to continue to use their account after the class has ended, they can leave the section.

If/once your child(ren) have been set up with Code.org accounts, please make sure they bring their login information with them to Saturday classes.

Using Code.org at home to continue/expand the journey:

FYI: This site is free and highly rated for safety, and quality learning, so if you have other children at home, or other adults who wish to explore computer coding, you can create as many accounts as you wish!

Once signed in, your child (or you!) can explore many learning opportunities.

- - There are courses for all age levels, using well-know characters and celebrities to teach along the way.
  - There are “Studios” or what some coders call “Sandboxes” to practice and create using the code you have learned.
  - There are short (approximately 1 hour) activities to explore and practice a variety of coding skills (logic, loops, graphics, interactive… etc.) listed under the “Hour of Code” menu.

Or, check out code.org/athome for ideas for things to work on at home.

Parents - Did you know you can connect your email to your child's account?

Keep up to date with what your child is working on and receive updates from Code.org. Have your child sign in to Code.org and then enter your email in Account Settings or click here.
