Between February 15 and April 15, the second edition of "CodeHero" took place with the participation of 65 participants, 41 from the Aveiro Council and 24 from other Councils from the north to the south of the country.
Nationwide, CodeHero is a free, open-access, online Introduction to Computer Science course that aims to promote STEAM skills and develop logical and computational thinking that can be used in everyday academic and professional life. This course also provides solid programming fundamentals and foundations such as values, variables, cycles, conditions, functions, string handling, arrays and objects, essential for deeper learning of any programming language.
As an incentive, the Municipality of Aveiro launched CodeHero Challenges, a contest based on the challenges of the CodeHero Course.
