TAGLINE
-------

Coding for kids, built for classrooms.


ONE-LINER (24 words)
--------------------

Codemoji helps kids learn real coding through emojis, so nobody gets
stuck on typing or syntax before they've had a chance to build
something.


ABOUT CODEMOJI - BOILERPLATE (50 words)
---------------------------------------

Codemoji is a coding platform for kids that teaches real HTML, CSS and
JavaScript through emoji-powered lessons, games and projects. Emojis
lower the barrier to entry, so students focus on thinking and building
instead of memorizing syntax. Built for classrooms, it has been helping
kids learn to code for years.


KEY FACTS
---------

  * Teaches real HTML, CSS and JavaScript, not toy blocks.
  * Emoji-based lessons remove the typing and syntax hurdles.
  * 700+ lessons in 58 courses and projects, with teacher lesson plans
    mapped to CSTA standards.
  * Grades K-8.
  * Teacher tools: class codes, assignments, a gradebook, and printable
    slides, lesson plans and exit slips for every course.
  * Every teacher, student and parent gets every lesson, class tool and
    printable today.
  * Integrations: ClassLink sign-in, ClassLink rostering (OneRoster) and
    Google sign-in.
  * Summer camps and school programs: codemojicoders.com.


HOW IT WORKS
------------

  1. Kids drag emoji that stand for real code - a 🚦 is the <html> tag,
     a 🍔 is <body>.
  2. They put them together to build real web pages, games and projects,
     and see the code each one makes.
  3. Step by step, the emoji give way, and they type the real HTML, CSS
     and JavaScript themselves.
