Fiero Code: a digital playground for coders young and old
Designed with different learning styles in mind, Fiero Code is perfect for introducing beginner coders to basic concepts and a range of widely used programming languages.
In this Fiero Code Challenge, first-time and experienced coders get to showcase storytelling skills, problem-solving techniques, and coding know-how using Code Blocks.
Similar to Scratch, Code Blocks works with a simple puzzle-piece structure and is especially great for visual learners.
