For Coders!

I love to CODE! I don't like playing video games, but I love the idea of being able to make my own apps! And I have always loved puzzles. Coding is a cross between playing a video game and solving a puzzle. All of the sites below are free. While we do the Hour of Code every year, I want you, my students, to learn how to code and practice every day so you can make apps to help me in my old age!
