Everything about CodeHS
Computer science learning platform
CodeHS is an interactive online learning platform offering computer science and programming instruction commands to a dog named karel. In the most popular course offered, which is similar to the original Karel programming language developed by Richard E. Pattis, Karel the dog must complete various tasks by moving around a grid world, and putting down and picking up tennis balls using only simple commands. Later learning modules teach more advanced concepts using languages like JavaScript, Java, and HTML. Wikipedia →
