Ten Weeks of National MIT Scratch Coding Competition!

K12 Youth Code is a national Scratch-programming league created for elementary and middle school aged students. Scratch is a programming language where children can program interactive media such as stories, art, games, animations, and simulations. As children create with Scratch, they learn to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically.

Multidisciplinary, academic curriculum-based challenges!

"powered on, ready to code!"

K12youthcode will issue weekly challenges which integrate school level multidisciplinary and curriculum-based Math, Social Studies and Science concepts.  K12youthcode serves as academic enrichment for students while developing problem solving, critical reasoning and design thinking skills required to complete the technical component of each challenge.
