r/Coding_for_Teens

hello I want to share about this program called 'calculate' that I hope would be useful here! its open for students between 13 to 18 years old and they can receive a calculator if they make a project involving numbers for a certain amount of hours :>

this program is made possible by Hack Club, a nonprofit that encourages teenagers to code and make cool projects (they also host other programs too!!)

I've spent the last few months building something and I'm finally at the point where I want to share it properly rather than just quietly hoping people find it.

The idea came from a frustration I kept seeing (and feeling myself): SQL tutorials teach the syntax fine but there's never a reason to care about the answer. You filter a table called employees, get a result, and nothing happens. Your brain doesn't bother keeping it.

I wanted to try a different approach. QueryCase teaches SQL through detective investigations. You get a briefing from Chief Fox (our mascot), a real database to query, and a mystery to crack. The JOIN matters when a suspect has an alibi. The WHERE clause matters when you're trying to find who entered the building at 22:13. The SQL is the tool for solving something, not the point in itself.

Here's what's actually in it:

• A structured learning path across 54 cases, going from Recruit through Rookie, Detective, Senior Detective, and Chief Detective. Each rank has drills and a level exam to pass before you progress.
• Sandbox mode where you can explore real datasets (IMDB movies, Spotify, sports stats, Steam games) and run whatever you want with no pressure and no mystery attached. Just free exploration against actual data.
• Everything runs in the browser using DuckDB WASM so there's nothing to install.

I'm a solo developer and this is genuinely early days. I'm sharing here because this community is exactly the kind of people I built it for, and I'd rather get honest feedback now than find out later I've built the wrong thing.

What's missing? What would make you actually stick with something like this versus what you've used before?

querycase.com if you want to take a look.

Any feedback appreciated!

What are the best ways to learn coding and hacking tips and stuff like that? I am most interested in getting deep into codes on phones and stuff like jailbreaking devices (check my posts... lol), and it would be super cool to get into ethical hacking. stuff like what Scammer payback on youtube does (https://www.youtube.com/@ScammerPayback)

I started learning python few months ago and I made my second project dont ask Abt first one it was trash

It's a small shell made for learning that I coded in python

Plz rate and tell me how can I improve it

This is a video with me testing my color palette swapping system, this was a month ago, I have actual gameplay and im working on a demo for next week :D

Hack Club is a non-profit that encourages teenagers to learn and build through coding. This year, they're running Stardance, a program where you can submit any coding or hardware project and earn Stardust, which can be redeemed for rewards such as MacBooks, trips to the Kennedy Space Center, and more.

I've received several rewards from Hack Club through previous events such as Flavortown, including CMF Buds, a phone, a keyboard, a mouse, and other stuff that has helped me to code more. This year, my goal is to earn a MacBook Air!

Check out Stardance here: https://stardance.space/r-w6cw2 (yes, this is a referral link - but it would help me get stardance merch and spread this to more teenagers if you used my link!)

I'm a Class 11 student participating in a regional-level hackathon, and I need a few real users to try my project. It takes less than 2 minutes and would genuinely help me demonstrate user engagement for the competition.

If possible, please sign up, try it briefly, and share any feedback. Every user helps a lot.

Thank you for supporting a student builder! ❤️
