BEAT THE CODES !

The project Beat the Codes! is intended for primary level classes in remote regions. This is a program* intended for teachers, librarians, educational advisers and primary school students which will allow all participants to develop their digital skills.

Places for the 4 courses are limited. Participating classes can register for more than one course by completing the form.

*This program is offered online until March 31, 2024.

Project description

The program Déjouez les Codes! is:

  • 4 courses (robotics, multimedia, 3D modeling and programming)
  • 16 hours of online projects per course
  • 1 digital week
  • synchronous and asynchronous workshops

which is intended for schools in municipalities with less than
100,000 inhabitants (and within the limit of available places).

Funding is possible through the program Culture à l’école.
