My Take
Code.org is free and without advertisements or requests to purchase additional content. It teaches coding to students, beginning at the pre-reader stage. There are unplugged activities provided to bridge the plugged activities, so students gain a deeper understanding of the coding concepts.
How I Use It
I first used Code.org during the Hour of Code while pairing students in groups of two. My students absolutely loved it and I loved watching them work together to solve challenges.

Great website for young students to learn coding
Very engaging for young students to get their feet in the door of the world of computer science and coding. Teaches the students the basics like running the code, compiling, and using cartoon avatars(Sprites) to keep students engaged and keep them progressing in their skills. Eventually this website and spark their interest in computer science, and allow them to express this as a future career pathway which can be a very encouraging sign in today's society.

My teacher doesn't know how to solve it so it was a really frustrating experience to figure it out.
