CoderZ Named a 2024 Educators Pick Best of STEM® Award Winner

Thousands of STEM educators chose the gamified coding platform as a top STEM education solution

DERRY, N.H. –Sept. x, 2024 – CoderZ, the gamified coding platform and curriculum that introduces students to technology, computer science and robotics, has been named the Best CTE Champions: IT & Coding: Real-World Learning in the Educators Pick Best of STEM® 2024 Awards, the only awards program judged by STEM educators. Operated in partnership with the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) and MCH Strategic Data, the Best of STEM Awards spotlights innovative products, technologies, and services that are changing the world of STEM education.

CoderZ was chosen via a two-part judging process. First, a panel of educator judges evaluated all entries and selected finalists. Next, hundreds of thousands of STEM educators picked the winners via survey.

The educator judge for the Best CTE Champions: IT & Coding: Real-World Learning Award stated, “CoderZ provides a well-rounded program for students in grades K through 12 to build skills in essential areas.”

The judge further praised the solution, saying “The product is very visually engaging for students and teachers. The activities engage students in real-world learning experiences, helping them connect more authentically with the content area and develop these essential skills.”

“To have the people who are directly involved in STEM instruction declare CoderZ a winning STEM solution is especially meaningful to us,” said CoderZ CEO Tony Oran. “It affirms that the application and curriculum are indeed a fun and engaging way to introduce students to computer science, robotics and coding, ground them in STEM principles, and open a pathway to high-demand career opportunities.”

CoderZ provides a research-based, pedagogically-advanced approach to teaching STEM and computer science for grades 3-12. In addition to coding, the program develops core knowledge in physics, geometry, literacy, and algebra as well as critical life skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, and grit. Any teacher, even those without subject area expertise, can integrate the scaffolded and standards-aligned curriculum into core, supplementary, or extra-curricular instruction. A rich offering of teaching and professional development resources makes it even easier for teachers to successfully cover the learning material.

That educator support earned special notice from the educator judge who said, “For educators worried about getting started or finding the time, CoderZ provides all of the resources that support educators as they bring this into the classroom.”
