EU Codeweek (also stylized as CodeWeek) is an initiative started in 2013 by the European Union to increase basic programming knowledge among children and young people.
History Codeweek was launched in 2013 by Neelie Kroes – at the time Vice President of the European Commission – as part of a broader European digital agenda. With the increase in the number of devices running software, there is a growing need for programmers, and the organization wants to introduce children to computer language at a young age through this initiative. Codeweek is a week during which free events are organized in schools, libraries, and other locations across Europe to teach more children and young people the basics of programming. In 2022, eighty European countries participated.
Participating countries By 2024, 45 countries are taking part in Code Week, featuring an annual competition that ranks countries by the ratio of activities to their population size. These are the participating countries.
