Season 5 of Code Along is live, and it hands you the tools to build the things you have only played, watched, and wished for. You start with the games you love. You move into the foundations of AI. You finish owning your money, your ideas, and your work. By the end, you are not playing the game. You are building it.
Free episodes drop every Saturday. Each one runs under 15 minutes. Each one teaches a real skill you build alongside us, one project at a time. Here is what is coming.
June 13 | Gaming & AI Games are the way in. Across three episodes, learners build their own games from scratch and step inside the industry that makes them. They code playable titles like Falling Objects and Meteor Blaster in Replit and Microsoft MakeCode, then go behind the scenes at Riot Games to see the creativity, technology, and careers behind some of the world's most popular games. This is the easiest way into the season, built for anyone who loves to play and is ready to build it.
June 20 | Creativity Code becomes self-expression. Learners produce their own music in TunePad, coding original drum tracks, bass lines, and melodies into complete compositions. Then they see where technology meets movement through the nonprofit STEM From Dance, which brings engineering, math, and dance together for girls of color. These episodes show how creativity, culture, and code belong in the same room.
June 27 | AI Foundations AI stops being a mystery. Learners break down how it actually works, from core concepts to machine learning, neural networks, algorithms, and prompt engineering, then put it to use with practical tools for studying, creating, and getting things done. They go past using AI to building it, training their own models and learning why their perspective shapes the technology everyone relies on.
July 4 | Business & Fintech The finale is about ownership. Learners design and build a professional website in Wix, then dig into the building blocks of JavaScript to make it interactive and understand how the web really works. The season closes with Mellody Hobson, Co-CEO of Ariel Investments, on her path to leadership in finance and what she has learned about money, careers, and building a future you own.
