Nickelodeon's Code-It
An innovative new product for the website was Nickelodeon's Code-It, which aims to help kids explore the Fun-damentals of computer coding through interacting with their favourite characters. Code-It is aimed at kids aged 6 to 12 and compliments the national curriculum. Users can manipulate a variety of Nickelodeon characters; animating them to move, change their expression, their size and more.
Rewards & Challenges
As users gain more confidence and take on more complex coding tasks, they will earn special rewards such as badges, which are visible to other Code-It users. More experienced coders will also be able to write their own code in the advanced code editor and take part in special Solve-It challenges, such as making SpongeBob dance.
Once a user has programmed a sequence, they can upload it to the animation gallery where other Nick.co.uk users will be able to view both the finished animation and edit the code used to produce it. The animation also has the chance to be selected by Nickelodeon to form part of the popular 'Do Not Touch Button' feature, Nick.co.uk's random animation generator.
