CodeHero

The 2nd Edition of CODEHERO is back, from February 15th to April 15th, 2021.

Within the scope of the Aveiro Steam City project, the online course of Introduction to Computer Sciences will be once again available for free to students of High School and Professional Education and other residents in Aveiro. This initiative aims to promote the STEAM skills and computational literacy, preparing our youth with the necessary skills for the future of the labor market, increasing the chances of success along their path.

CodeHero allows the development of logical and computational thinking that can be used in everyday academic and professional life. It provides programming foundations, such as values, variables, cycles, conditions, functions, treatment of strings, arrays and objects, which will be essential to learn more deeply any other programming language.

At the end of the course, a Digital Certificate will be awarded to those who complete the training.
