Skill Struck’s K-5 platforms include built-in curriculum that encourages your youngest learners to start their computer science pathway with block-coding or text-based coding.
These platforms include speech-to-text features, and helpful videos so students as young as Kindergarten can begin learning coding concepts.
Students are challenged to complete specific tasks and receive immediate feedback on their progress as they go through the curriculum.
With Skill Struck your students will learn text-based coding earlier in their education through engaging coding games, unplugged activities, and more.
Skill Struck’s Voyage (6-12) platform includes a rigorous computer science curriculum that’s relevant to today’s careers.
Skill Struck offers curriculum in web development and software development, including languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python.
Your district can customize a computer science pathway, or use our recommended pathways here.
Students build projects using Skill Struck’s curriculum that can be used to further their education in CS, apply for CS jobs right out of high school, or gain problem-solving skills that are relevant in any industry.
All of the content is fun and engaging for our students! Regarding the support and partnership, they are always on top of everything. Small issues are resolved quickly, and that is not typical with other EdTech companies.
If a friend has never coded before, I would tell them that Skill Struck is a very easy and fun way to begin learning. I would also tell them that Skill Struck has challenges that are a fun way of testing our own ability to problem solve.
