We are facing an incredibly challenging time with the global outbreak of COVID-19. The South African government has ordered that all schools should shut down immediately and will re-open on the 19th of April 2020.
All schools and partners are encouraged to shift from on the ground training to a virtual and remote training.

Learners with access to cell phones, laptops, and tablets are encouraged to use their devices to work on the CodeJIKA.com online platform. We are also working on more resources to help teachers continue teaching vocational coding remotely, and we will share them as soon as possible!

CodeJIKA will continue to support teachers, students, and partners remotely. Below is a set of online and offline resources to help you learn vocational coding at home.

Online learning- Try these fun and engaging activities:

  1. 5 min Website – Quick and easy introduction to coding part 1.
  2. 1 Hour Website – Quick and easy introduction to coding part 2.
  3. Create a Landing Page (Project 1) – Introduction on how to build a simple yet cool and colourful landing page.
  4. Create a Web CV (Project 2) – Build a web-CV using HTML, CSS, and emojis 😊 .
  5. Create a Basic Business Website (Project 3) – Build a website for a small business using JavaScript

Offline Learning

  1. Ensure that all learners with computer access at home have downloaded the CodeJIKA curriculum, Project 1,  Project 2, and Project 3.
  2. If you are using a computer or laptop, please ensure that you have Notepad ++ (every computer comes with it already installed). If you are using a tablet or cell phone download Dcoder (you will find it in the play store), this will allow you to code.
  3. Install Adobe Reader (Every PC should have a program that can view PDFs.) and Internet Browser (You don’t need internet, but you need a browser. Any browser will work; Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari.)
  4. Learners are encouraged to start WhatsApp coding groups and share the curriculum with those that do not access to the internet. Each project is less than 5MB.
  5. Send screenshots of your completed websites to [email protected].

Stay safe, and please practice social distancing.
