Compare Code School Finland vs CodeMonkey

Yao-Jin Choong, Senior Head: Teaching & Learning: We've had a great experience so far with Code School Finland! For a school looking to implement coding across KS1-3, but with no teachers trained to teach the subject, CSF has provided the necessary training and materials to get us started, with progression clearly built in. Our trainers and consultants, Sirkku, Jussi and Kaisu, have been friendly and most accommodating. They understand the unpredictable environment in schools, and are on hand to support with onboarding when we have changes in staff deployment. Should we have any questions, they are also quick to respond. We are just 6 weeks into our first year teaching CSF's brand of coding, but have already received some positive feedback from teachers, parents and students! One suggestion I would like to put forward, is to perhaps have more consistency in the format of each module. For instance, it would be very helpful for teachers' planning if each module has a list of learning outcomes provided that teachers can use to assess progress, like a syllabus document.

Ariadna Guzmán, Trainer: Is a pleasant experience. I love the materials and resources. You made feel confident in a subject I would have never considered.

Neil O'Toole, Learning Designer: Code School Finland is a well-designed curriculum from age 8 to 16, that allows educators to integrate coding, robotics and AI into their daily learning engagements. The resources are methodical and well-explained and focus on the thinking behind the above areas, thinking which is transferable to other subject areas.

Lisa, CS and Engineering Teacher: I've been using for years in elementary school tech class, afterschool programs and - now - in middle school as my primary curriculum. Students love it due to the engaging visuals and challenges that are "challenging" enough for GT students and provide enough support for students as needed.

Kari, Instructional Technology Specialist: Student engagement is the number one reason I am giving Code Monkey a score of 10. But I also like how it supports our teachers when it comes to delivering lessons to students. Some teachers aren't confident when it comes to teaching coding, but they are able to learn right along with the students to build that confidence.

Paige, Teacher, Digital Techknowledgy: All my students are successful when learning with CodeMonkey. They are able to work at their ability level and achieve success no matter whether they can read at their grade level or what language they speak. Everyone can achieve success.
