Built for junior secondary school

Programming, explained the way a first lesson should sound.

CodeStart is a tutoring tool for JSS students taking their first steps into programming — with a tutor you can chat with any time a concept doesn't make sense, and a teacher who can see how you're doing.

Students need an access code from their school to register. Ask your teacher for yours.

Lesson 1 — Getting Started

16 topics

    Everything a first-time coder needs

    No installs, no setup — just the core ideas explained clearly, with someone to ask when you're stuck.

    💬

    Ask-anytime tutor

    A chat tutor trained on the exact questions JSS students ask first — from "what is a variable" to "what does print() do."

    📘

    A clear starting syllabus

    Sixteen foundational topics, ordered the way a first course should be — no jumping ahead, no jargon without explanation.
