“GameSalad lets students take their first steps in coding logic easily and quickly, but it still has great flexibility and power for those who want to tackle more complex projects.”

Steve Floro

Perry Lake High School

“The look of the platform is very enticing, especially to kids. At first, they are like, ‘Whoa, we’re going to be doing this?’ And then it all just makes sense really quickly.”

Patti Griffin

What is the GameSalad for Education Web Platform?

For grades 5 through 12 and beyond, students learn the fundamentals of computer science while building their own video games with GameSalad.

More sophisticated than block coding, but free from heavy scripting, students love building and customizing games using our visual coding interface.

Practice Game Design: Focus on story, art and function, rather than placement of semicolons. Build totally original games with advanced learners.
