Code Avengers Junior courses are designed for younger learners aged 5 to 14. The courses cover topics such as Computational Thinking, Programming, Impacts of Computing, Networks and Security and Data Representation.

Our Junior courses are story-based, immersing learners in an adventure with a diverse cast of characters. This allows learners to make sense of computer science concepts and their applications through real-world contexts with meaningful examples.

The stories are told through colorful graphics and dialogue scenes that are voiced over for younger or less confident readers. Our online activities have been purposefully designed by experienced teachers with expertise in both the content and pedagogy of computer science and digital technologies.

Custom-built interactive widgets carefully scaffold learners in order to build up knowledge and skills in each area before progressing to more complex tasks, and higher-order thinking skills. Each course is accompanied by a teaching guide that includes learning outcomes for each lesson, descriptions of the content concepts and tasks, vocabulary lists, and a collection of unplugged activities and other resources to support the delivery of our content in the classroom both on and off the computer.

Many of our junior courses also have cross-curricular links with subjects like math, science, and social science to help make the learning meaningful by connecting it to the bigger picture. Code Avengers Junior courses make it easy for teachers with any amount of experience to facilitate effective computer science and digital technologies learning in their classrooms.

Code Avengers is an interactive learning platform where you can learn programming languages, and develop websites,apps and games.There are also Computer Science topics. When you first log into Code Avengers you'll be on the profile page.

Here you'll see links to all of the tracks we have. We're adding new content all the time and a subscription covers all existing and new content. Each track has a series of courses in it, and each course contains lessons, projects, and quizzes to make it fun and easy to learn the content.

Inside the Code Avengers learning environment, you'll see that each lesson has explanations, instructions, and activities to do. The activities include writing code in the built-in editor,as well as a range of interactive tasks to reinforce learning.

Many of our lessons also have videos for more information. When you try activities you get immediate feedback and there are hints to help you out. You can use the menu to navigate to other lessons in the course as well as projects and quizzes. Projects and quizzes help to reinforce or extend on the learning covered in the lessons.

In every course you'll have access to a bunch of tools to help you. The detailed coding reference for each language,a tools menu,and notes. Completing tasks gives you points and you'll also earn badges and certificates as you progress,making the learning process more engaging.

If you're a teacher you'll also find a handy teacher tab on your profile page that has all of the tools you'll need to implement Code Avengers in your classroom, school, or other learning organization.

The goal of the Professional Development 202 module is to teach you to use CA efficiently and orient yourself with the platform. There are five tasks that make up this module that contain videos, reading materials and activities to check your understanding.

The activities all are similar to what your students are asked to do. All the content in this module is available in the videos guides if you need to refer to something later.

Our course writers and developers are trained teachers and UX specialists. When creating courses, they work hard to support students through a range of strategies. These include:

1. Creating tasks with limited mobility and accuracy in mind, with smooth transitions, larger hitboxes and the ability to click then click again to move objects, rather than a sustained drag.
2. Having hints and answers available so students can 'work backwards' from the answer and improve their learning if needed.
3. Ensuring layouts are predictable. All of the tasks are laid out in either the PRO or the JR format and the tasks all work similarly.
4. Limited scrolling, so that most content fits on one screen, especially in the Junior courses.
5. Careful consideration of cognitive load, through scaffolding and spreading ideas out across lessons.
6. Vocabulary is largely kept to the 2000 most commonly used English words, apart from technical terms, to support low literacy and new language learners.
7. Audio is available for most junior courses to help reduce literacy barriers. In the PRO space, many of the courses have videos.
8. Color-coded progress tracking is used to indicate to teachers which students may need targeted support.

1. Any courses that you or your students start, or add to favorites using the star icon, will be listed in MY COURSES.
2. Clicking on the MY PROGRESS tab shows overall course progress.
3. If you’re signed into a teacher account, you’ll see the TEACHER tab.

5. If a teacher assigns courses to a class, they can choose to hide the course library. This means students will only see MY COURSES and MY PROGRESS.

1. The course tiles tells you information about the course such as the track, course number, and title. It also has a bar which displays how much of the course has been completed.
2. You can click on the tile to see more about a course such as a description of the course, as well as the approximate length and target age group.
3. Each course is made up of a number of lessons. These lessons each have 5 tasks, indicated by the 5 circles. A white circle indicates a task is not yet completed. A colored circle indicates it has been completed.
4. From here you can either click START NOW on a new course, or CONTINUE to carry on with a course you’ve already started. You can also click on a lesson name to jump to a particular lesson, or a task circle to jump to that task.
5. A student can reset a lesson by hovering next to the lesson number and clicking on the reset icon that appears. Students may wish to do this for additional practice, a refresher, or in order to earn more points for the lesson if they previously used hints or solutions.
6. You can also click the TEACHING GUIDE link to see an outline of the course content including curriculum links, lesson and task descriptions, learning outcomes, and supporting resources.

The PROFILE PAGE is our home page. When you log into Code Avengers, it is usually open on the COURSE LIBRARY tab.

In the COURSE LIBRARY tab you can see all of the Code Avengers courses. The PRO library is for older students and the JR library for younger students. The switch toggles between the two libraries. Each library lists age-appropriate courses.

Below the switch there is a filter section. You can use the filters to help you find courses on particular topics, for a given age, and so on. Selecting more filters within a category will show additional courses. Selecting filters from another category will narrow down those courses.

Code Avengers is an online learning platform. It runs in the browser with no need to install extra software. Google Chrome or Firefox are the best browsers to use. If you have Internet Explorer, use it to download either of those 2 browsers.

Here are some more technical tips to help you have a smooth experience using Code Avengers:
