Why Libraries Choose Vidcode
“I currently have 6 kids who are in our class. They absolutely love it! After the hour is up there is a great big groan because it went too fast! I plan to continue with this group throughout the year and add another class after school hours. So far it has been very user friendly and I have been able to teach it flawlessly!”
- Rebecca, Library Director, Canadian Library
“ Teens who are sheltering in place may want to visit the Schaumburg Township District Library's website, where they can find a multitude of fun activities, homework help, movies, crafts, webcast serials and even a virtual escape room. Vidcode helps high school and middle school students learn coding skills.”
- Susan Miura, Daily Herald Chicago
