Kita is a browser-based coding platform for Computing education. Set up your class, run lessons, have students complete programming challenges, and return feedback, without leaving one tab.
This documentation is a work in progress. We’re actively adding and improving content, so you may see some rough edges along the way. Please email support@getkita.com if you have any questions.
