Until this crisis ends and beyond, Family Code Night is here for families and educators.  We will be announcing additional Home Event dates and programs soon.

Bring Family Code Night to YOUR School

At Family Code Night, parents pair up with their young children at this evening school event to do their first hour of coding, together.  The effect is extraordinary: huge turnouts, great fun, inspiration – plus the personal engagement of happy, motivated parents, a unique and largely untapped force in K-5 computer-science education.  The school community shares this delightful evening experience, and is left eager for more, at school and at home.  A great next step in computer science learning for any K-5 school.
