Year of Code is an independent, non-profit campaign to encourage people across the country to get coding for the first time in 2014. Through code people can discover the power of computer science, changing the way they think about, and get the most out of, the world around them.
They will be banging the drum for all the fantastic coding initiatives taking place over the course of year and want to help many more people engage with technology and access important training opportunities.
Over the course of the year they will signpost national and community tech events, crowdsource funding to help parents, pupils and educational organisations. They will commission detailed polling and analysis on how we can take coding far and wide.
