CodeMonkey is a fun and educational game environment where students learn to code in a real programming language, no previous experience needed.

Full course, ready to go

With CodeMonkey’s Teacher Kit, everyone can easily teach the basics of computer science.

Real programming language

Using CoffeeScript, students learn to code and then build their own HTML5 games.

Game based learning

Write code.
Catch bananas.
Save the world.

Game builder

Using what they learn, students can develop their own apps and games.

“What I like best about CodeMonkey is its engagement level, but most importantly the realistic coding students do in a text-based editor. The game-like quality makes them willing to take risks and persevere.”

Pi-Chuan Chang

Ph.D, Programming Teacher & Engineer, AltSchool

“I was glad to see a coding game creating equally high engagement with girls! And the linear path makes guidance easy even with large student groups.”

The Swedish school, UK

"I'm so pleased I had the opportunity to use CodeMonkey, I think it's the best that I've seen. The lesson plans with the online and offline activities are really good, It made it easy for the children to understand our goals."

Megan McNinch

Sugar Creek Elementary School in Fort Mill, SC

"I have been using CodeMonkey with grades 3+, the students and teachers love it! It's my first year coding at age 29. Kids can code and I can too!"

"Brilliant. The teacher reference solutions are a great tool to have, because some of my students are moving ahead of me!!!”

"In a market filled with lots of great code-learning games and sites, CodeMonkey stands out with its cheerful graphics, carefully constructed puzzles, and thoughtful sequences of puzzles."

"Do your elementary and middle school students want to learn how to code...with bananas? With CodeMonkey, students complete coding challenges, helping their monkey collect all of the bananas in increasingly difficult levels. Educators (and parents) can track a student’s progress, and see each student’s solution to a coding challenge."

"CodeMonkey Studios has built a web based animated puzzler through which kids learn to write code. Unlike many of the other coding apps, which generally use drag and drop interfaces to teach algorithmic thinking, CodeMonkey involves writing real code."

"I’m seeing more edteach start-ups taking this learner-centric approach right from the start… to build products that actually solve problems and address existing needs. One that comes to mind is CodeMonkey… The company focuses directly on the learner, offering an online game that teaches kids to code. "

"CodeMonkey’s gamification concepts might be similar to others, such as the animated interface, the nutty professor and the sweet little monkey who you’ll need to guide through a set of obstacles. But the main difference is that you’ll have to write the code yourself, and not build a script using lego like blocks of code." (Hebrew)

"CodeMonkey is an Israeli company that offers a website to teach coding through a game, in which a monkey has to collect bananas, starting from the age of 9." (Video, Hebrew)

"CodeMonkey是一个在线的交到孩子任何编程的游戏类产品，针对的是 9 岁以上的儿童教育。
在游戏中，有一只想要吃到香蕉的小猴子，孩子通过编写代码，帮助虚拟中的猴子小伙伴获得它心爱的香蕉。刚开始，游戏会为孩子提供简单的编程语言，例如 “step 15”，引导孩子操作猴子前进或者后退 15 步吃到香蕉。而之后关卡难度会越来越大，例如一次性获得多个香蕉，转弯操作，与乌龟小朋友一起合作跨过湍流的小溪，打败老鼠争夺香蕉。不同难度的关卡，对应编程学习中不同的难点，例如逻辑循环等等。"
