The term "back to school" may come with a lot of uncertainties for many teachers during the upcoming school year. We believe EduCode can help.

We would like to thank all of the many EduCode teachers and learners who submitted entries for this contest. There were some very interesting videos and photos submitted, making it a very challenging job to pick the winners. Congratulations to Brenda from Mexico and Rianna from India for your winning submissions to our EduCode video contest in April!

With the COVID-19 pandemic situation, we are not able to thank our teachers in person for what they do for us and our children. We certainly learned to appreciate our undervalued teachers during these past weeks! Now, with our kids home and trying to continue the learning journey for them ourselves, we recognize how crazy a job teachers really have.

With businesses and schools closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, many education businesses are having to pivot to a new business model to adjust to the new normal. We reached out to a few of our coding camp partners to see what they are doing to address the needs of social distancing and what changes they are enacting – which may become a normal part of their offering going forward.

Looking for something fun to do with your children while they are not working on their EduCode lessons, cooking with you or doing other educational projects? EduCode wants to hear from you!

Just over one month has passed since the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus Covid-19 a pandemic on March 11th. A lot has transpired since then, impacting virtually every student and family across the globe. In our mutual response to battle this quickly spreading virus, we have seen global collaboration of the scale never experienced before.

Today, with COVID-19 worries, the NHL playoffs will most probably not take place this year, but we can still pin up messages of hope in our windows. In New Brunswick, there is a movement called "NB we will be OK," that is quickly spreading across the province.

The continued spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) around the world has understandably raised concerns for you and your families. At EduCode, the well-being of our valued customers is of the deepest concern to us as this situation continues to evolve and we commend those of you who have taken on the challenge to #FlattenTheCurve by staying home!

Now that COVID-19 has shut down many schools, as well as daycare centers, movie theaters and play houses, governments are recommending that we all practice social distancing in an effort to "flatten the curve." What does this actually mean?

To enjoy the full benefits of a tech-driven economy, students need to know more than just how to use technology, but also how it works and how to create it. This is where learning to code comes in.

Over the past decade, technological breakthroughs have spurred exponential growth for career opportunities in both existing and new fields. One-third of new occupations in the United States were created only in the past 25 years.

We started this series of blog articles to help instructors, facilitators and educators plan, run and teach STEM classes or programs more effectively. Lessons should be as enjoyable and engaging for the teacher as the student. We hope that the topics we cover will provide you with some new ideas, insights and tools to create a truly immersive learning environment for your students.
