Rural coding access

Real coding skills for rural South African learners.

Kids Coding is built for schools and community partners who want learners to do more than consume technology. The programme gives low-confidence beginners a guided path into HTML, CSS, JavaScript, saved projects, submissions, teacher feedback, and visible proof that they are building real digital skills.

Build confidence early Small-group projects help learners move from watching technology to making things with it.

Bring opportunity closer The goal is practical digital access: one laptop, clear lessons, saved work, and a pathway into real web skills.

No empty tutorials

Every lesson ends with something real on screen.

HTML + CSS

Personal profile page

Structure, links, images, color, and a page that feels personal.

JavaScript

Clicker game

Events, variables, timers, scoreboards, and tiny wins on screen.

Design

Club website

Navigation, responsive layouts, forms, and pages that work on phones.

Svelte

Mini app

Components, state, props, and a project learners can keep improving.

How class feels

It feels like a real learning platform, not a pile of worksheets.

The structure is steady: short demos, hands-on building, remix time, saved projects, checks for beginner tasks, teacher feedback, badges, and approved showcase work. The early lessons support younger beginners, while later modules give teens real front-end, Svelte, and launch skills to grow into.
