CodeSpace Tools Overview
CodeSpace comes packed with tools designed to encourage students to be self-sufficient. Teachers, make sure to encourage your students to use all the goodness that CodeSpace has to offer!
CodeSpace Tools
CodeTrek
The CodeTrek is your guided companion through each mission. It gives you:
- A starting point for your program
- Detailed information about lines of code you need to write
- Explanations of coding topics and concepts
- TODOs — holes for you to fill in on your own!
Hints
Don't forget to check the Hints! Many Objectives provide helpful hints to guide students with extra information and to extend their understanding of complex concepts.
Toolbox
As you work through each mission, you'll be adding concepts to your Toolbox — an important reference you'll need in later missions and when coding and debugging your own remixes.
Debugger
The CodeSpace debugger lets you step through your program one line at a time, at your own speed, so you can understand exactly what the computer is doing. Stepping is a powerful tool for debugging — use it whenever you need to understand more clearly what the code is doing.
Debugger Resources
Learn how to connect to a device and use the debugger with these guides:

Need to write your own program? Use the Sandbox to code your remixes. Anytime you are not working in the curriculum, you can use Sandbox mode to select the target device and write your own code.
