Great work, I like the idea of not requiring students to have an account to login, but instead use a code. I also feel as if this is a great way to introduce the youth to the concept of "Code Review" which I believe is critical to secure coding and their future.

Thanks! We originally built Peergrade just with email/password login because we started with a focus only on higher education. When we got the first users from schools that didn't have emails, we had to rethink the login flow. Using a code has a lot of advantages since it makes it a lot easier to get started - but often students realize later (for example a week later) that they would love to have saved their feedback, which is now impossible.
I totally agree about code-review! I actually wrote a post on Medium about teaching code review with peer feedback: https://medium.com/@davidkofoedwind/teaching-code-review-in-...
