CodeHS JavaScript Insider: Explore the Project Catalog, Answer the Question of the Day, and Get Extra Practice!

For the 2024–2025 school year, CodeHS is hitting the road again to visit K-12 computer science classrooms across the United States. Whether you’re in a bustling city or a quiet rural town, we’re excited to make computer science accessible and fun for students, everywhere. You can now request a visit from CodeHS!

CSEd Week is just around the corner! We're excited to bring you a variety of Hour of Code tutorials and activities. Visits will be from Monday, December 2nd to Friday, December 13th. This is a perfect opportunity to get your school involved in the excitement. Join us in celebrating computer science education and inspire your students to continue coding in the future!

Be sure to check out our Project Catalog this fall, which provides a world of creative possibilities for students to use JavaScript outside of their regular coursework. The catalog has over 100 projects, ranging in language, difficulty, length, and theme. They are a great way to extend student learning in a fun and meaningful way.

If you’re unsure about where to start, check out the following relevant JavaScript projects:

Hispanic Heritage Project

Changing Leaves Project

Jack O'Lanterns Project

Thanksgiving Pies Project

Generative Art Project

Have you checked out the Question of the Day (QOTD) for JavaScript yet? The questions run throughout the school year and build from basic concepts covered in the beginning of the course to more advanced concepts as the year progresses. Use QOTD to kick off your class each day and challenge students to keep up the longest streak. Pro users can even track their students' answers with the Progress Dashboard!

Do you have students who would benefit from extra support or practice? Be sure to check out our JavaScript tutorials and Practice exercises. The tutorials are a great way to support student learning on particular topics. They include explanations, images, and runnable code examples. Our Practice exercises are perfect for students who just need some extra practice coding with particular topics.

Here are a handful of tutorials to consider:

You can now favorite your frequently used apps! Click the star icon next to the app name to add it to your favorites for quick access from the toolbox or sidebar.

CodeHS has new AI courses and dozens of AI projects you can plug into your existing curriculum. By introducing AI in computer science classrooms you can prepare students for a technology driven world and students can learn that what may seem like magic is actually just programs and algorithms!

Happy Fall!
