Teach Fundamentals of Programming In 30 Minutes

Give your students an impactful learning experience with our critically-acclaimed coding card game and comprehensive lesson plan

Teach fundamentals of programming in 30 minutes with Potato Pirates Coding card game

Our Python Lesson Plan

Our resources for educators are the perfect first step for any student with no prior background in coding to learn the fundamentals of computational thinking.

They will also engage in hands-on coding activities by learning Python, a popular programming language that is used in a variety of applications such as data analytics and artificial intelligence. Take a sneak peek into our presentation slides below!

WHAT TEACHERS SAY ABOUT OUR GAME

Andrew MeileComputer Science Teacher

We are playing cards today in our programming courses. Potato Pirates is a great way to do some “programming” off computers.

Susie Honsinger Computer Science Teacher

I teach computers and technology to students ages 5 through 14. Students 8 through 14 adore the game, as do I. It's kind of hilarious and fun to play in a group and they are learning some basic programming and computational thinking.

J.D. DeVaughn-BrownComputer Science Teacher

I'm teaching computer science at K-12 school and was extremely excited to get a game that used physical components away from a computer to teach programming concepts. I think it can help students focus on the concepts away from the distractions of the internet.

Mrs. HammickComputer Science Teacher

My CS1 students play Potato Pirates to have some fun while learning new computer science terms.
