Have you always wanted to try coding but never did? We believe anybody can learn to code and actually should because it’s an important 21st century skill. We want you to finally get hands-on with coding for one hour. You will see that coding is no magic but fun and empowering. And since its EU Code Week, coding is celebrated in over 46 countries during that week. So what better week to finally try coding?
