Pre-Built CS Assignments with Autograding

1. Skip the setup, start teaching

Building autograded assignments from scratch takes hours: writing test cases, configuring rubrics, handling edge cases. The community library has 100+ assignments built by CS instructors, with autograding already configured. Browse by subject, import into your course, and you're ready to go. Start from 100+ pre-built assignments, then copy them forward each semester.

Assignments come with test configurations, rubrics, and problem descriptions
Covers Python, Java, C, JavaScript, data science, and more
