Captain Your Adventures with Code Jumper Puzzles!

“Greetings from the planet Jumpiter! My name is CJ and I love going on adventures to new places. I’m visiting the planet Earth and would love for you to join me on my upcoming adventures.”

Meet CJ

Explore the world with CJ, the curious, blue, cat-like creature from outer space with our new, student-focused, puzzles for Code Jumper. Students can work independently or together to complete a variety of “choose your own adventure” activities with little instructor intervention. Each puzzle incorporates coding activities such as algorithms, loops, sequences, constants, and more!

Code Jumper is a hands-on product designed by Microsoft and developed by APH to teach students computer coding and programming skills through a unique, physical system. Code Jumper takes block coding off the screen and puts it on the table in front of you, making it accessible to all students. Brightly colored plastic pods with oversized buttons and knobs are connected by “jumper cables” (thick cords) to physically create computer code that can tell stories, music, and even crack jokes.

Where will CJ take you?
