I just started a coding club last week using The Foos Code Club Kit.  I now feel more comfortable to help students develop an interest in computer science. I can't wait to see what their imaginations come up with when they learn to create their own games and create their own stories. Now, I have to go back and get 3 stars on all my \"games\".

The modules are well organized and use the structure of teaching that we all depend on - a lesson plan, engaging, empowering, and enriching slide shows to demonstrate the skills and learning, and a sprinkle of videos to tie it all together.

They have a fantastic product that is fun, engaging, and educational all at once. There is so much to the app, and I haven't even discovered everything there is to explore. I can't recommend Codespark/The Foos more--if you are a class/homeroom teacher, this course will be very useful in helping you understand how to teach computer science!\r\n\r\nMy only qualm was that , being a coding teacher for a couple of years (and a software dev and CS major before that), this course barely taught me anything I didn't already know. It does walk you through their app, but I had already explored most of that yourself. If you are a CS teacher or know a fair bit about coding/teaching coding, this course will not be very useful to you.","name":"Great for First-Timers!","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","bestRating":5,"ratingValue":4,"worstRating":0}},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Rebecca Lugo"},"description":"This is a great self-paced PD opportunity.
