UPDATE: Scrimba has updated from version 1 to version 2 in May 2024. Some of the screenshots below show you version 1 so you may see something different if you're using version 2. Links for both versions (in case one is not loading properly etc) are below for the first several weeks

Students have access to V1 Scrimba - https://scrimba.com/allcourses (NOTE: The new version is: V2 Scrimba - Courses) and all of their courses. Scrimba is an interactive learning platform where students can interact with the video content code editor. You should be able to find the link to get free access to scrimba in your class announcements channel in Slack.
