Coding Heroes
Kids’ creations come to life in a new computer game called SuperMe. The game was designed by students in Chicago Public Schools. To make it, they had to learn how to code. They also drew their own superheroes. Then they used coding to animate the characters. Chance the Rapper used SuperMe as the video for “I Love You So Much,” his song with DJ Khaled. Chance helped fund the coding project with Google.
Justin Steele is the director of Google.org. He spoke with TIME for Kids. “Chance called it ‘the cheat code.’ If you can learn computer science, you’ve got the ‘cheat code’ for anything you want to do—if you want to make music, if you want to make art, if you want to make technology,” he says.
