New advantages for Codelearn students according to their seniority
The school year is over and we’re going on vacation! As every year, however, we want to give you reasons to continue being part of Codelearn, the best coding and robotics after-school program for children and young people. Normally, during September we held the traditional student raffle, a draw with several prizes which rewarded student loyalty and gave you more chances to win the more years you’ve been registered at Codelearn. This year we have changed the September raffle so that chance is not the only player and you students can choose whether you want a prize or not and can access it (or not) depending on your seniority at the school.
