Fiero Code is an award winning learn-to-code platform that’s designed to be used in after-school programs at libraries, Boys & Girls Clubs, YMCAs, community non-profits as well as public, private, charter, and home school settings. You don’t have to know how to code to use Fiero in your after-school or in-class program.
The platform has video courses covering drag-and-drop coding, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and more. Students log in, do the lessons, and learn how to code.
CALS has decided to subscribe to Fiero Code which means anyone in your community has access to use it for free.
Unlike most electronic resources CALS subscribes to, Fiero Code content is not à la carte. Meaning, you will be asked to complete certain lower levels before being allowed to move up to medium and higher levels.
