Where do I even start?
Start by identifying a school in your area, you can also approach your son or daughter’s school. Speak to the principal and ask if you can teach kids how to code and you only need an 1 and half. If the school option does not work, gather your friends and relatives kids between the ages of 12-18 and you can host a mini workshop in your house.

Who’s this for?
The CodeJIKA.com program is built for non-technical people. It’s fun and the main part is to have fun doing it with others. You probably don’t feel qualified to “Teach Coding.” Don’t worry, it’s more about spending time together with someone and doing a dynamic and unpredictable activity together.
The Impact Multiplier
There is only one condition. Are you ready? Everyone that you do a coding session with has to promise to spend 10 minutes doing the same with someone else. Creating a “Tech-savvy” educational sector and society starts with everyone.
Sharing
Be sure to share your fun or experiences on social media with the #codejika1hour & #codejika.
