Code Jumper Teaching System

Code Jumper

Code Jumper just got an upgrade! We are thrilled to introduceCJ Threads, a new feature in the Code Jumper app that allows young coders to see their block-based code level up to Python. Rather than jumping straight into writing a coding language, CJ Threads eases learners into Python with the CJ Threads toolbox that simplifies syntax and allows the user to focus on core concepts instead of memorizing commands. To help make learning Python even more fun, students can mix their own beats with CJ the DJ with our CJ Threads lessons. With a brand-new sound set, students can layer and sequence beats to create their own original tracks. Explore our CJ Threads lessons and learn more, including how to upgrade your Code Jumper app, onthe CJ Threads page of CodeJumper.org.

Originally designed by Microsoft ® and developed by APH, this fun, lively, and engaging product is designed to teach students how to write computer code. Code Jumper technology takes block coding off the screen and places it right in front of you, making it accessible to all students. Brightly colored plastic pods with oversized buttons and knobs are connected by “jumper cables” (thick cords) to create physical computer code that can tell stories, music, and even crack jokes.

The physical pods not only make coding easier to follow and more digestible for young ages, but the tactile elements make the product engaging and enjoyable for students with all vision levels. The Code Jumper product is equipped with in-app lessons, and partners with products like Code Jumper Puzzles to allow students even more opportunity for learning and play.

With Code Jumper Puzzles, your students will join CJ, a cat-like alien from planet Jumpiter, as they adventure across eight new and exciting puzzles to learn more about Earth. The adventures incorporate coding activities such as: algorithms, loops, sequences, constants, and more. Each puzzle is free and available in accessible PDF, BRF, and audio files. APH developed these student-focused “choose your own adventure” type of puzzles so that users can use them independently, with little instructor intervention.Download Code Jumper Puzzles!

Note:The Google Play Store will no longer support the Code Jumper app as of August 2025. At that time, support on Chrome/Android platforms will bediscontinued, and Code Jumper will only be available on Windows operating systems. At APH, we want to ensure you are informed so that you can plan accordingly. We strongly recommend that school districts and EOTs currently using Chrome/Android devices with Code Jumper kits begin transitioning to Windows operating systems prior to this date.
