Terrible and unintuitive
February 24, 2025

There are many lessons where they do not provide any explanation whatsoever on specific levels. This led to many of our peers were stuck on multiple levels preventing us from actually learning what they are supposed to learn. Maybe it's just my teacher forcing us to self-teach ourselves in our AP CSA course, but this website does not guide us at all on what to do. To put it into an analogy, it's like if a dad tells a child how to do a certain thing, but if the child messes up the father tells the child they screwed up, but he never actually shows the child any hints, indicators, or even telling how it is really done. On top of this, they give us code and expect us to understand why certain things are wrong. However, they do not tell you why the specific code does not work, and they just move on as if we understand it. From a perspective of a current self-taught AP CSA student, the previous statement raises the question: How does it make sense for code.org to expect us to know why certain things work and why they don't when we students don't even know if our assumptions for why it works/doesn't work is correct? Overall, do not use code.org for learning. You are better off using CollegeBoard as a guide for the subjects you are supposed to learn and use YouTube to help you understand such topics and use Visual Studio to create your own projects based on those subjects to help you learn. I do not recommend using code.org for AP CSA, or even CSP.

Teaches you nothing
December 6, 2022

This website does not help me code in any way possible. One of my assignments said to add a rule set or something and came with no more instructions but it had never taught me what to do. And the name is so unoriginal.

This non-profit provides free resources to teachers and to casual coders. They started the Hour of Code, and now have literally hundreds of short tutorials and mini-games designed to get people interested in coding (which is much easier to learn these days). They also have a ton of online curriculum for teachers for all grades, from kindergarten all the way to a high school course, complete with lesson plans, online tools, videos, handouts, offline "unplugged" activities, assessments, progress tracking? And more. They also offer free and subsidized training for teachers that is really good.

This site is one of the best kept secrets on the web!

Terrible
May 19, 2023

I'm doing lesson 8 and I keep trying to make the food "drag able" but it keeps saying, " Only make the food drag able not your pet try again" even though I keep trying and I'm sick a freaking tired of myself not being able to finish the lesson because of your stupid mistake. I'm tired of sites always making us do all this work for nothing and I want y'all to fix it because how are kids supposed to learn when they are stuck on one lesson forever because of a bug.

This absolute piece of $#*! has more bugs than a safari in the middle of the night. All of the levels are poorly made, and the noises are super annoying. Its lacking all of the features that make scratch fun and usable, and is overall a very horrible tool. I can not stress enough how bad code.org is.

I'm stuck on this lesson because of a bug that I have on code.org and it is terrible. I have to do 29 lessons and one of them took hours because of a bug on this atrocious website. This is just plain torture and do it if you want to have a headache from it's technical glitches.This is absurd that we have to do this for homwork. Thank you for listening to my review.

Interesting design
July 26, 2021

A very useful game when you have a few free minutes, such as in transport or between regular boring classes in college. Interesting design, easy to use.
