Kodable Creator acts as a bridge for students, transitioning them from the solid groundwork of block-based coding in Kodable Basics to the exciting potential of authentic, written code.

Who is Kodable Creator for?

Kodable Creator has been designed for students in 3rd-5th grade and is available to all users on March 25th. Kodable Creator is available for use on the web at www.kodable.com.

Creator Courses:

Kodable's Creator Courses are designed to teach kids the essential coding skills through game design. These self-guided courses are structured to be student-driven, allowing teachers to take a hands-off approach. All educators need to do is get their students started, and the learning begins!

Each course guides students through four exciting missions—Debug, Elevate, Hack, and Master—challenging them to improve their coding abilities through engaging, fun activities. These missions ensure students continuously grow their skills while having a blast exploring game creation.

After beginning a course, students receive guidance from their AI companion, CatBot, who provides step-by-step assistance.

Game Templates and Free Create

After completing a Creator Course, students can use game templates as a starting point to build and customize their very own unique games. These templates provide a framework, incorporating the skills they've learned throughout the course.

Students can also unlock Free Create, a space within the game where they can design a game with unlimited possibilities. This feature gives them full creative freedom to build something entirely unique, using all the skills they've developed along the way, making the experience truly their own
