Hello! I have access to the TEALS Makecode IntrotoCS curriculum in Github, but this is my first time using GitHub, so I am a bit lost. I can’t seem to view most of the material directly inside Github. For example, I can’t preview .docx files in this environment, and I can’t see how to download folders. It seems as if I need to download the curriculum one file at a time to use it. This doesn’t seem right. What am I missing?

Kiki created a video on accessing our curriculum through GitHub. See if this helps, and let us know if you need any additional information.

Thank you! Watching the video I realized I needed to get back out to the main folder so I could see the CODE button and download from there.
