Code To Inspire, Code To Create, Code To Innovate!
The world that our learners operate in everyday is one where digital literacy needs to be a fundamental part of education. Not knowing the language of computers can create the same challenges as being illiterate. Coding is about creation and crafting a system of interactions much like storytelling. It builds strong computational thinking skills to breakdown larger problems into a series of smaller ones that are easier to manage. Learning to code builds a foundation for students to design, communicate, and create content to share rather than just consume what others have made.

We want learners to know that designing and creating is within their reach, and that coding opens up a world of opportunities.
