A unique and fun coding after-school program
There are only a few days left before the start of the 2024-2025 school year, which also means the return of after-school activities. This week, all Codelearn centers have reopened their doors after an August in which the programming after-school program remained active exclusively online. Both for adults and children, autumn is always a great time to discover new activities, and that’s why, even though Codelearn offers open enrollment year-round, September is one of the best times to join the adventure of learning to code.
In August, learn to code and win prizes on the platform
July has ended, along with our summer camps and our in-person after-school program, and it’s time to take a few days off for vacation. As every year, our centers will be closed during August, but we remind you that the coding after-school program remains active every day thanks to our online platform. Students can continue to access the platform whenever they want and work at their own pace from home or anywhere in the world, ensuring that everyone keeps their mind active by doing programming exercises. Moreover, since we know that it’s harder to concentrate during your summer holidays, once again we offer you extra motivation to work in August: there will be a monthly ranking and special points that can only be earned during this month, granting access to exclusive prizes.
2024 Summer Chess League
As every year, throughout the month of July, we will celebrate a special activity both in the centers and on the Codelearn online platform. This time we have organized a Summer Chess League to have fun playing chess and take advantage of all the benefits this game offers, such as exercising and developing mental skills like logic and reasoning, problem-solving, memory, and concentration.
Codelearn Special Weeks: Virtual Reality
From May 20 to 24, our centers have been celebrating the last theme week of this school year, which was dedicated to virtual reality. Codelearn students have had the opportunity to learn more about this technology, experience it through the use of specific applications and devices, and apply their new knowledge by participating in complementary classroom activities.
Tips for taking your first steps in programming
Although more and more people are aware of the importance of learning to program, there are still many who are intimidated by this new challenge. It’s true that the world of programming is vast, so the first thing you need to keep in mind is to take it step by step. Just like learning any foreign language requires acquiring a certain level of vocabulary and understanding its grammar, programming also requires a similar approach.
