15. 111 Code Clubs
3330 children
coding
200+ teachers and volunteers

16. “As young children code, they develop
design and problem-solving skills that are
foundational for later academic success
and by using math and language in a
meaningful context, they develop early-
childhood numeracy and literacy."
Eliot-Pearson, Department of Child Study and Human Development, Tufts University

17. How does it work?
First, remember it’s all (forever) FREE

20. Whether we're fighting climate change or
going to space, everything is moved
forward by computers, and we don't
have enough people who can code.
Teaching young people to code early on
can help build skills and confidence and
energize the classroom with learning-by-
doing opportunities.
-Richard Branson
