CodeGym launches an educational campaign to create more opportunities for students to succeed

Codegym announces an educational campaign for high schools, colleges, and universities to offer a chance for students to learn Java code for free. The campaign aims to make programming education affordable and to encourage students to learn Java programming language in theory and in practice during the school year 2020/2021.

“The CodeGym team is confident in the bright future of Java and online education. We chose to demonstrate this through actions rather than words. We stand for the availability of quality education and teaching materials. That is why we decided to give access to our complete course to high school, college, and university students for free.”

The whole course is gamified, which makes it easier to absorb the knowledge base. The theory part is represented as a story, and from the very beginning till the end, is supported by practical tasks. There are more 1,400 issues for students to solve. The tasks are based on the gradation model: students move from easier to the more difficult ones.

The interface is simple. After students log in, they get their personal access to their accounts. The journey begins as they click on the “Start” button.

  • Class progress monitoring 

With the help of a special tool, teachers can track progress of their students across course levels.

  • Class leaderboard

This is a little about competition. All students in the course are displayed in the overall ranking.
