Revolutionize your school or organization’s professional development with CodeJoy! Our virtual PD is not just highly effective—it’s a game changer! Invite your educators to us on Zoom from anywhere, whether joining solo or with the whole team. Boring slideshare and talking head presentations? Not with CodeJoy! Our sessions are broadcast live from our state-of-the-art multi-camera teaching studio, and packed with interactive activities that your teachers can use in the classroom immediately.
Teachers use their own devices (we recommend computers or Chromebooks) for a fully immersive experience, making it easy to share resources and connect with fellow educators via video and chat. With CodeJoy, you’ll leave feeling inspired, equipped, and ready to transform your classroom. Don’t miss out on the most engaging and impactful professional learning journey your teachers can embark on—schedule PD for your school and see the difference for yourself!
“Best PD I’ve attended in 30+ years of teaching!”
– Jackie Gerstein, G&T teacher, Santa Fe, NM
Supercharge your team’s professional growth with CodeJoy’s innovative group delivery model! We know that learning thrives when it’s social, practical, and joyful – and that’s exactly what we deliver. Rather than charging per head, our single price for a group of up to 35 teachers ensures all key stakeholders are involved, creating a unified approach to implementation. (Pro tip: Partner with a similar school to maximize your investment!)
During our high-energy sessions, we don’t lecture – we do! Your educators will code, create, and collaborate, leaving with a toolkit of classroom-ready ideas. Built-in reflection time ensures that teachers are prepared with their collective best ideas for implementation.
To maintain our gold-standard support, we cap individual sessions at 35 participants. This allows our live tech support team to provide personalized guidance right when it’s needed. Need to train more than 35 teachers? No problem! We can bring in extra support staff, or arrange multiple cohorts to ensure everyone has a cohesive, consistent, collaborative experience. We’ve trained as few as 3 or 4 teachers, or as many as 500 through this highly effective model!
Don’t settle for isolated learning experiences. Choose CodeJoy’s group PD model and watch your entire organization level up together!
“The breakout groups worked well for me—I usually dislike breakouts very much but they were short with a specific task… It didn’t seem like uncomfortable forced chit chat.”
– Tanya Churchill, Digital Learning Coordinator, Wake Co, NC
At CodeJoy, we understand the challenges you face balancing teacher availability, substitute shortages, and maximizing instructional time. That’s why we’ve designed our Professional Development to fit seamlessly into your school’s unique rhythm!
Choose from our 3, 6, or 9-hour packages and watch as we transform them into a schedule that works for you:
- Bite-sized 1-hour or 90-minute sessions
- Energizing half-day workshops

In addition, we’re not bound by the school bell. Need after-hours or weekend sessions? No problem! We’ll bring our state-of-the-art virtual studio right to your teachers’ homes.
Our mission is to supercharge your educators’ skills without disrupting your school’s flow. With CodeJoy, you’re not just scheduling PD – you’re unlocking a world of possibilities that respect your time and resources.
CodeJoy offers professional learning experiences on a range of robotics and physical computing tools, including:
- The BBC micro:bit
- The Hummingbird Robotics Kit
- The Finch Robot
- And more coming soon!
We offer a basic “Intro to __” class for each tool, which broadly covers the set up, use, and teaching of that tool and its application across different content areas. Looking for something more specialized? Check out our engaging sessions:
- “Micro:bit in the Wild” — Dive into environmental literacy with the BBC micro:bit
- “Robot Mini Golf” — Explore and enhance project-based learning with the Hummingbird Robotics Kit.
- And more!
What’s even better? Our tools support multiple coding languages! From icon-based for young learners to text-based for advanced students, we’ve got the right fit for everyone:
- Icon-based: Perfect for emerging readers
- Block-based: Ideal for proficient readers new to coding
- Text-based: Designed for middle and high school coding classes
Schedule a chat to discover which tool and coding language can best support your school or organization’s learning needs!
Psst—Want to hear about CodeJoy’s secret sauce? Our PD for teachers offers the perfect blend of interactive learning and proven pedagogy. Research shows that PD focusing on both content and content-specific teaching methods skyrockets teacher adoption of new practices. Our focus on creating supportive learning experiences for teachers increases their confidence with the tools, and boosts classroom adoption and integration.
Picture this: Your teachers immersed in a constructivist learning environment, actively building knowledge through:
- Hands-on, meaningful experiences
- Engaging project-based learning
- Dynamic discussions that construct shared understanding
The result? Educators who don’t just know how to use tech tools – they know how to teach brilliantly with them!
“I think you should be in every teacher prep course – not just for the fabulous content, but especially for the stellar pedagogy.”
– Holly Whitt, Librarian, New Market, AL
