Vidcode offers a project-based coding curriculum that teaches students basic to advanced object-oriented programming through video-making and social-media–style projects (memes, filters, interactive games, GIFs). Its courses cover beginner to advanced JavaScript, design thinking, and interaction design, and the company is beginning to explore VR as a stepping stone to tools like Unity. Vidcode sells software, curriculum, and teacher training directly to schools and via strategic partnerships such as BrainPOP, which also embeds Vidcode’s creative coding tool across hundreds of BrainPOP topics. The startup reports growth from 1,000 schools last year to over 25,000 schools today, with concentrations in New York, California, Arkansas, Kansas, and Texas. Vidcode aims to reach 20 million students (10 million girls) by 2020. The team plans to use new funding to extend sales through more strategic partnerships and to expand its curriculum into AR/VR and more advanced coding.
