CoSN Cybersecurity Toolkit

BrainPop

Our Creative Coding feature, in partnership with Vidcode, takes a project-based approach to the teaching of coding.

It gives students a way to show what they know about a given topic – regardless of curriculum area – by coding their own projects using BrainPOP assets.

Creative Coding was designed so that students and teachers of all subjects, even with little or no coding experience, can jump right into a scaffolded project.
