Engage your youngest learners in computer science.

Launch Pad teaches through interactive games, activities, text books, and more. Some features include:

Block-Based Coding

Students as early as Kindergarten can learn computer science concepts. Students can:
  • Use inclusive characters and story development scripts to help express themselves through code.
  • Begin their coding journey with block-based coding challenges.
  • Receive immediate feedback on their coding challenges, allowing them opportunity to troubleshoot and find solutions.
Block-Based Coding
Engaging Games

Engaging Games, Puzzles, and Activities

Engage your students in coding with fun games, puzzles, activities, and more. Students can:
  • Learn coding concepts such as sequencing through puzzles and other games.
  • Begin with block-based JavaScript and transition to text-based JavaScript.
  • Create their own puzzles that they can share with their classmates encouraging friendly competition.

Intro to HTML

Start incorporating rigor and more advanced coding concepts, such as HTML, beginning in 3rd grade. Students will be able to:
  • Navigate through an easy-to-use textbook that teaches them HTML through videos, challenges, activities, and more.
  • Use an autograder that offers real-time feedback on their understanding as they work through the HTML course.
  • Challenge the concepts they’ve learned through games and activities.

Save time with a built-in autograder. The autograder will:
  • Automatically grade challenges, lessons, and projects in real-time.
  • Allow students to receive immediate feedback on challenges and assignments.
  • Give every teacher, whether they are new to CS or an expert, the ability to teach computer science.
 Cross-Curricular Content

Cross-Curricular Content

Integrate computer science into Math, Science, and ELA classes. This cross-curricular content will:
  • Help students develop better Math, Science, and ELA comprehension through Launch Pad’s cross-curricular content.
  • Allow elementary schools to integrate CS into their Math, Science, and ELA classes.
  • Give teachers and paraprofessionals confidence in teaching computer science.

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.
