 NEW! In a world that is increasingly influenced by technology, we believe that it’s essential for children to get familiar with 21st century skills and the understanding of how we, as humans, program machines to create a better future. With Mission: CODE we empower girls and boys with basic computational thinking skills and knowledge of computer programming concepts in a fun, accessible way. Weekly lessons include a combination of online and unplugged activities that allow the children to practice the programming concepts and get immediate feedback. Each child will receive 12 months online access to videos, games, and classes to continue learning.
