About CodeHS
Some of you may not know about what CodeHS is. Thus, you are also going to explain about codeHS. If you really want to know that information, do not hesitate to read the following text.
Based on the research, CodeHS is an interactive online learning platform that offers computer science and programming instruction for schools and individual learners. Here, CodeHS is focused on spreading access to and knowledge of computer science by offering online instructional materials which are supported by remote tutors. In the introductory learning module, the students on the site will practice computer science concepts and programming skills by giving commands to a dog called Karel.
Similar to the genuine Karel programming language developed by Richard E. Pattis, a dog called Karel must complete various tasks by moving around a grid world, putting down and picking up tennis balls by using only simple commands. The next learning modules will teach more advanced concepts by using languages like Java, JavaScript,and HTML.
History of CodeHS
Historically, CodeHS was built in 2012 by Jeremy Keeshin and Zach Galant. For your information, Jeremy Keeshin and Zach Galant were Stanford University Computer Science graduates. Galant and Keeshin based CodeHS on their own experience as section leaders and teaching assistants for some of Stanford’s introductory computer science courses. This company joined the Imagine K12 incubator’s third class. It was launched in October 2012. Its investors include NewSchools Venture Fund, Kapor Capital, Learn Capital, Seven Peaks Ventures, Imagine K12, Marc Bell Ventures, and Lighter Capital. In total, CodeHS has reached $2.9 million as of December 2016.
We get information that CodeHS was selected as one of three education technology companies to take part in the Innovation Challenge (2013), part of the NBC Education Nation initiative. Innovation Nation challenge participants CodeHS, GigaBryte and Teachley participated in a series of challenges in October 2013, soaring in a live pitch contest broadcast live on NBC during the Education Nation Summit. Eventually, CodeHS won the Innovation Challenge, getting a $75,000 prize awarded by the Robin Hood Foundation.
CodeHS participated in the nationwide Hour of Code challenge promoted by Code.org during the week of December 9, 2013. Also, CodeHS was featured as a tutorial for learning JavaScript on the Computer Science Education Week site. Over the course of the week, the participants started learning to code for an hour on CodeHS.
Apparently, the first learning module on CodeHS teaches introductory programming concepts by asking the students to give basic commands to Karel the Dog using Karel-specific JavaScript commands. Of course, this approach is based on the original Karel programming language developed by Richard E. Pattis. And it is used in Stanford University’s introductory computer science classes.
Initially, Karel knows only several basic commands:
- move(); to ask Karel to move one spot forward.
- turnLeft(); to ask Karel to turn left.
- putBall(); to ask Karel to put down one tennis ball in the current spot.
- takeBall(); to ask Karel to pick up one tennis ball from the current spot.
Need to know that Karel is able to be taught additional commands by defining new functions consisting of these basic commands. Also, the programmers are able to use elements like loops and conditionals to control the flow of the program. After a dog called Karel, then Tracy the turtle was introduced. Eventually, Karel evolves into Superkarel and gets the ability to turnRight() and turnAround().
