“The students were so excited they didn’t want to go to their next class, which was air conditioned. Thanks for making it fun for them with this program. The level of engagement is astonishing.”

“I tried other platforms—and found them cold, distant, too adult. Vidcode is so young and vibrant. It gives students a sense of ownership. Vidcode is wonderfully visual and students don’t get left behind, as can easily happen on other platforms. I want students to leave a lesson feeling comfortable with JavaScript. Scratch is a great introduction to code, but there has to be a natural way to tackle the barrier to learning a serious language—Vidcode carries them over that barrier.”

— Ms. Cary, Teacher, United Kingdom
