SEED DEVELOPER PROGRAM
Supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs
Bring Ideas to Life with Code
Our mission at Hopscotch is to expose every kid to the powerful ideas of computing through a programming tool that lets them make real software.
A key part of making real software is learning how to turn your hard work into a business.
Hopscotch goes beyond just teaching kids the mechanics of coding.
We want emerging creators to learn all the skills needed to create amazing games and apps.
That’s why we created the Seed Developer Program.
Creativity and Entrepreneurship
In Fall 2020, 15 kids were selected for the inaugural 2020 Seed Developer Program.
Over the course of 6 weeks, they each received direct support, guidance and mentorship from the Hopscotch team to help them plan, develop and launch 13 incredible games in the app’s new “Top Games” category.
These games are first of their kind. Not only are they super creative and fun, they also include special features that can be purchased with Hopscotch’s in-app currency, seeds. Game players can now pay creators directly in seeds to access new levels, characters, boosters and more.
Check out the games below, and enjoy using seeds to unlock unique in-game features designed and created by kids!
