Allowing all students to learn coding for free
One Step at a Time
Kids Learn Code
is a non-profit Ground-Up Initiative specialising in providing free coding education to students aged 7-12. We aim to engage and ignite kids’ passion for coding in an evolving world, and we envision a world where every child has access to quality coding education.
Skills Developed
Kids Learn Code's workshops are meticulously designed to complement our distinctive CODE framework. Beyond acquiring coding skills, students engage in a holistic learning experience where they cultivate essential interpersonal skills vital for success in diverse life endeavours. Unlike conventional workshops, we prioritize integrating these valuable skills into our curriculum, providing students with a comprehensive foundation that empowers them to excel in coding and various projects and challenges they partake in.
Confidence
Students are taught how to make slides and present them in our workshops. This allows them to gain confidence in their future projects
Originality
Originality is crucial in the hackathon segment. Students are encouraged to come up with new ideas using the problem statement
Digital Literacy
Digital Literacy is a new addition to the framework. Students are taught how to stay safe and also code better with Computational Thinking
Engagement
Engagement is crucial for students to absorb knowledge. With quizzes and hackathons, students stay focused and satisfied during workshops!
