Grok Academy

Grok Academy is an online platform designed to support digital technologies education, offering resources for both learning and teaching programming. The platform is targeted at classroom environments and is created by educators with experience in teaching digital technologies. It provides tools and materials that aim to empower students with skills and knowledge relevant to coding and digital literacy.

The service includes classroom-ready online and unplugged resources, curriculum guidance, and professional learning materials for teachers. Grok Academy features an interactive learning platform where students can code directly in the browser from any device, allowing them to start assignments at school and continue at home. Its approach is problem-based, pairing each new concept with a practical problem so students learn through doing. The platform also provides interactive notes with editable and runnable code snippets, and uses an intelligent automarker to break problems into tests, offering students feedback to help them solve challenges.

Grok Academy supports a variety of programming languages, including Python, HTML, CSS, and embedded programming. It is accessible to both students and educators, with special provisions for verified teachers and parents to manage student data securely. The platform runs in modern web browsers and relies on technologies such as WebSockets for functionality. Comp, and the WiseTech Global Advanced Python Competition, is free for Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand school students, while international students can access these through a paid plan called Grok Access. Grok Academy has also been assessed and qualified for the Safer Technologies 4 Schools Product Badge Program.

Owned and operated by KIK Innovation Ltd, Grok Academy operates as an Australian charity and positions itself as a comprehensive solution for digital technologies education, supporting both students and educators with online resources, competitions, and curriculum-aligned content.
