Learn to code while playing Code Hunt. You become the code hunter, and your mission is to discover missing code fragments. Use Java or C+, or both, to progress through sectors and work your way to learning more complex programming skills.

In the Classroom

Learning to code is an opportunity to teach students to think and problem solve, and coding is a critical digital literacy skill for the future. Create a recess/lunch time or after school coding club for students to access the site. Challenge students to write stories to accompany each level of code they complete as they play Code Hunt. Provide an environment for students to collaborate to solve the levels such as a collaborative learning center.
