I liked that this came as an actual card instead of just a digital code. I got this to use with one of my homeschool kids.
This was great. We're still in the beginning lessons. I like the layout. The modules and progression are very clear, and you can even go back and redo modules. There are videos to watch and then written slides that guide you through the learning.
This is really better on a computer. The website will run on a phone, but the videos are sized for a computer screen and of course you need to be able to type code.
This is not a fun "coding game" for little kids where they use premade visual representations of commands to make something on the screen move. These lessons actually teach the code. It's exactly the next step I've been looking for for my older child.
The company has many other offerings as well. I can't wait to progress with my child. I would definitely recommend this course.

Great lessons! Not for little kids though, this is actual coding.
