I bought my first unit of Text Art for my afterschool coding club, and I had one student in particular who just loved them. So, I've since bought others and she's done them all! It has led her to create her own ASCII art and it's really fun!

These are so fun! I also think they make a great "early finisher" activity or easy to leave for a sub! Thank you!

I was excited to see that this could be used on SeeSaw, but we could not get it to format correctly on SeeSaw at all. The directions given for how to change the settings for SeeSaw are not available. I even reached out to SeeSaw with a picture of the formatting directions, and they claim that those are not available on their platform. I can probably still use the activities on Google Docs, but SeeSaw was going to be my primary way to send it out to students and have them submit completed challenges back to me. It will be a fun activity if I can get students' documents formatted correctly, just can't use it for how I had hoped.

Thanks for reaching out! I have just checked this and it looks like Seesaw has recently changed the "custom" option for fonts. In the directions, I have listed to use the "RobotoMono" font but instead use the font "Feather" in Seesaw. I would also recommend selecting Bold and left aligned. I'm not sure why they said the formatting options are not there since it was a wording change, but hopefully that makes the product more useful for your needs. I definitely prefer the Google Slides version or just using a word processing program, but absolutely feel comfortable using in Seesaw as well. Sorry for the inconvience - I will add the updates to this to my list to reflect the wording changes in Seesaw.

I used as a time filler for my middle school students and they loved it. I think it's a great way for them to get better familiarity with using a keyboard and formatting text!
