💡 It’s EU Code Week! 🎉
EU Code Week is a Europe-wide celebration of creativity, problem-solving and digital skills — all through coding! 🤖💻

Every October, schools across Europe join in by running fun coding lessons and activities that help students think creatively, work together and understand how technology shapes the world around them. 🌍

Whether it’s Scratch projects, Micro:bits or digital storytelling, coding gives students the tools to create rather than just consume technology.
