Cognito Coding / Arcadia
The Cognito Coding Club Arcadia — gaming and coding club

Chat with friends, play together, make games, draw, and learn to code — all in one place.

Two friends chatting, a Minecraft grass block and pickaxe, an arcade cabinet, an easel with a sword sprite being drawn, and a computer showing code beside a robot turtle
One login for the tools. The Make and Code tools all open with the same Arcadia login — sign in once and they all work. The chat has its own login, and Minecraft uses your Minecraft username (your tutor adds you). Your tutor gives you your logins.
