Making learning to code fun and easy!

Pupils learn to think of coding as fun and not hard

Your pupils won’t realise they’re learning because it feels like playing a game.
We find pupils persevere longer when they’re stuck if they’re having fun. So we made fun our focus.

Ensures every child learns to code

Girls are under-represented in the tech industry. We want to help remedy this, so we’ve made a concious effort to be gender neutral, and it works!
Rodocodo is designed for children at any attainment level. Even those who can’t read, or aren’t confident at Maths.

Your pupils learn to think like coders

Rodocodo teaches the science of solving problems (Computational Thnking) without them realising.
It develops their skills and confidence to solve problems on their own. This means they ask for help less often when stuck.
