iCodejr, a leading STEM education provider, has launched Arab Kids Code, a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to bringing high-quality coding and STEM education to Arabic schools across the region. The initiative aims to bridge the digital skills gap by providing world-class learning programs, equipping students with the technical knowledge and problem-solving skills essential for the future.
Through partnerships with schools, corporate sponsors, and government initiatives, Arab Kids Code will offer a range of instructor-led and self-paced courses, coding competitions, and teacher training programs tailored for students aged 7-16. The initiative’s goal is to empower one million young coders across the MENA region, ensuring no child is left behind in the digital revolution.
“At iCodejr, we believe that every child deserves access to quality STEM education. With Arab Kids Code, we are committed to nurturing future innovators by bringing coding and technology-driven learning to classrooms across the Arab world,” said Hannan Moti, Co-Founder of iCodejr. “By collaborating with schools and institutions, we hope to create a generation of creative thinkers, problem solvers, and digital leaders ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow.”
Students and institutions participating in Arab Kids Code will have access to a diverse curriculum covering game development, artificial intelligence, web development, and design thinking, among other STEM disciplines. Additionally, iCodejr is a Microsoft Authorized Education Partner, allowing participating students to benefit from free Microsoft 365 subscriptions, including Minecraft for Education.
Arab Kids Code will be officially introduced in the UAE at the upcoming Ras Al Khaimah Innovation Exhibition, taking place from 11-13 February 2025 as part of the UAE Innovation Month celebrations. The exhibition will serve as a key platform for showcasing groundbreaking advancements in education, technology, and innovation, making it an ideal setting for the launch of this initiative.
With a proven track record of hosting UAE’s largest inter-school hackathon, Code Battle, iCodejr continues to drive innovation in STEM education. Arab Kids Code is poised to become a leading force in equipping Arab youth with the tools they need to thrive in a tech-driven world.
