Coding for Kids
Looking for a unique way for your kids to collect candy (and avoid cavities) this year? We’ve got you covered with our Halloween coding tutorial! “Spooky Treats” is a fun, educational way to get kids into the Halloween spirit. With the guidance of the tutorial, they’ll learn to program Codey to collect candy while evading a spooky ghost. They can even hack their project to make Codey eat more candy or move faster. Your kids or students can code this project on their own, then share the final project with friends to see who can help Codey collect the most candy!
