Tips For Creating Accounts

At CoderDojo MHK, you may use learning platforms such as Scratch, Codecademy, and Udacity. Free accounts are available on each platform. We recommend you set up an account with the help of your parent or guardian before the session, but we would also be more than happy to help you in person at the session.

Remember to...

Create a username that does not include your real name.
Create a password that you can remember easily. You should have your parent or guardian write this down and save it.
