#CodeWeek boosts digital skills around Europe

Publication date: October 18, 2017

The first part of EU Code Week was amazing with thousands of participants getting in touch with the coding world. Volunteers from schools, libraries, code clubs, businesses and public authorities worked together in workshops with young and motivated people to show how fun coding, robotics, hardware and computers can be and how they help bringing your ideas to life.

First steps in coding from Ireland
