Programming for children, learning to code is a game full of adventures
These days, more and more parents are looking for apps, resources, and coding programs for kids. Teaching children how to code is not an easy task, since programming requires effort and a lot of perseverance. Therefore, the most important thing is to get children and adolescents to see programming as a fun activity. We have to awaken their interest and the best way to do it at these ages is through gamification, which allows us to turn learning into a playful activity.

Unlike other technological activities, Codelearn do not focus on a single program or programming language, which will sooner or later become obsolete, but we want children and adolescents to acquire skills and abilities that will last a lifetime. The curriculum follows a logical order and has been designed by various experts in both technology and education.
