We believe every child should have access to a high-quality coding and digital making education.

That means when children are in the Code Club World environment, they are learning to code and use digital making to independently create their ideas and address challenges that matter to them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-blog-entry\"><a href=\"https:\/\/codeclubworld.org\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CCW_Map-800x602-1.jpg\" alt=\"Islands in the Code Club World online platform for children who want to learn to code for free.\" class=\"wp-image-77049\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Welcome to Code Club World \u2014 so many islands to explore!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>By providing a structured pathway through the coding activities, a reward system of badges to engage and motivate learners, and a broad range of projects covering different topics, Code Club World supports learners at every stage, while making the activities meaningful, fun, and flexible.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pexels-julia-m-cameron-4145154-500x334-1.jpg\" alt=\"A girl has fun learning to code at home on a tablet sitting on a sofa.\" class=\"wp-image-77033\" \/><figcaption>Code Club World\u2019s home island works as well on mobile phones and tablets as on computers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>We\u2019ve also designed Code Club World to be mobile-friendly, so if a young person uses a phone or tablet to visit the platform, they can still code cool things they will be proud of.<\/p>\n<h2>Created with the community<\/h2>\n<p>Since we started developing Code Club World, we have been working with a community of more than 1000 parents, educators, and children who are giving us valuable input to shape the direction of the platform.
