DASH Coding Class

Create your own online video game while learning the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Designed for students in grades 5–8, DASH Coding Clash turns creativity into real coding skills through fun, hands-on projects.

Create. Code. Play.

Learning to code should be exciting.

Throughout DASH Coding Clash, students create their own browser-based video game while discovering how websites and interactive experiences are built. Every lesson introduces a new coding concept that students immediately use in their own game, making learning fun, creative, and rewarding.

By the end of the program, every student leaves with something they built themselves—and the confidence to keep creating.

What You’ll Learn

HTML — Build the structure that brings your game to life.

CSS — Customize your world with colors, layouts, and animations.

JavaScript — Create movement, interactions, scoring, and gameplay.

Problem Solving — Learn to think like a developer by breaking big ideas into simple steps.
