THE PLATFORM
UNIQUE OUTPUT
We respect learner’s time and maximize the number of sessions to accelerate subject expertise.
Imagine if almost every single character typed from session 1 till 25 contributes toward a singular, impressive project.
SERIOUS, SIMPLIFIED.
Reducing barriers and bottle-necks includes building the system for the learner as well as the teacher. We expect self- & peer-learning & created a conservative learning curve so that no one gets left behind. <3
IN CONTROL
Everyone wants to feel in control – Drag and Drop is great for conceptual understanding, but it creates a dependency on the specific platform on which it was created.
At CodeJIKA, teens actually feel like developers; Debugging & managing files.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP & STORY-TELLING
Projects created can be upgraded, improved, pushed to live sites and actually serve a purpose in society or the economy.
Why not let school projects become “Real” projects? 😉
OUR PHILOSOPHY
MISSION
We believe youth are the greatest engine of innovation.
CodeTribe supports student-driven innovation in high schools.
VISION
Teens understanding web development and leveraging it to implement digitally accelerated projects and dreams.
Be the launchpad through which “@Triber” creators imagine, dream and build beautiful products, tools and futures for themselves and their communities.
FOCUS
Imagine going into job and being told a little bit of everything, but nothing concrete about anything.
Sounds frustrating and boring, right? That's why we focus on one skill-set: Web development.
CONFIDENCE
Chests bursting with pride as a result of the co-creation & intrinsic understanding of how to build real-world webpages with JS automation tools that can be hosted anywhere.
CREATIVE
Acquire industry-related skills in collaborative, fun project-based learning, while using their extreme creativity and content to personalize their brand, their message.
VOCATIONAL
Vocational rather than conceptual - This allows learners who complete the program to add value and move forward professionally even if they don’t proceed to tertiary or even finish high school.
