Why is Code Week important?
We want to celebrate coding as part of Europe Code Week 2017, a grassroots initiative which aims to bring coding and digital literacy to everybody in a fun and engaging way. Last year, over 680,000 people took part in coding events across 50 countries – and this year will hopefully be even bigger!
“Learning to code helps us to make sense of how things work, explore ideas and make things, for both work and play. What’s more it helps us to unleash our creativity and work collaboratively with wonderful people both near us and all over the world.” – Europe Code Week
