Code.org offers free, comprehensive K–12 curriculum and teacher professional development for computer science and artificial intelligence education. As a nonprofit organisation dedicated to expanding access to CS education for all students, Code.org provides standards-aligned courses used in over two million classrooms across the United States, with no prior teaching experience in computer science required. The curriculum includes Computer Science and AI Foundations, which provides students with both foundational knowledge and hands-on experience blending computational thinking with real-world applications, as well as specialised modules like Coding with AI, where students leverage large language models to write more powerful code while exploring ethical considerations and responsible AI use. Professional development is available year-round in flexible formats, supporting teachers through comprehensive training, lesson plans, projects, tutorials, and assessments—all available online at no cost. Code.org's mission is to ensure every student in every school has the opportunity to learn computer science, and their professional development programme is designed to make this vision achievable for teachers at every level of experience.
