Bootstrap World
For many teens, algebra feels abstract and disconnected from anything they care about. Bootstrap World offers free curricula that teach algebra and computer science together by having students create video games and data projects. Developed by Emmanuel Schanzer and a team of educators, it’s built to be used in schools and camps but adapts well for motivated homeschoolers. We love how math concepts like functions and inequalities show up directly in code and game behavior. It’s ideal for middle and early high school students who like programming or game design and need a more applied math track. Materials assume some comfort from the adult facilitator, so non‑technical parents may face a learning curve, but support documents are strong. Pro tip: start with the Bootstrap:Algebra or game unit and commit to working through the lessons steadily, treating it as both your math and intro‑CS course.
