We hope everyone is taking care of themselves in this time of growing uncertainty as more offices and schools are going virtual.

In response to recent school closings and families choosing to stay home, Mouse would like to support students, educators, and families by continuing to offer activities that can keep young people learning STEM and computer science digitally during this time.

NEW: Mouse Open Projects Resource for Free Online Activities with No Account Necessary

Mouse has created a new curriculum resource, Mouse Open Projects that allows students to get started on Mouse’s learning content without signing into an account, educator guidance, or materials. We created this resource to help all learners, regardless of their situations, to keep engaging with STEM and computer science in school or at home.
