We’re happy to announce the lauch of an educational campaign for high schools, colleges, and universities to offer a chance for students to learn Java code for free. The campaign aims to make programming education affordable and to encourage students to learn Java programming language in theory and in practice during the school year 2020/2021.
A number of US schools, such as Kingwood Park High School (TX), Wheeler School (RI), Fox Senior High School (MO), McDonogh School (MD) and others, have already taken part in the program. Also, the program has already been joined by schools from Germany, France, Great Britain, China and Serbia.
‘My students are excited about the platform and have made good progress without needing much help from me, which is great to see. I have high hopes for them including Oracle certs, internships, and of course good scores on the AP exam. I completely agree with your theory that the most important part of improving with Java is….practice!’, says Joe Thompson, CS Teacher at McDonogh School, Maryland.
What will Students Get With CodeGym For Higher Ed
