Why participate in Happy Code's coding bootcamps?

We live surrounded by technology, but Happy Code believes that childhood is the right time to cultivate the habit of creation, not just consumption. The institution is part of the national network of Microsoft Authorized Education Partners and is the first partner school of the Roblox Educators program in Portugal. It works with the purpose of training future thinkers and creators, developing socio-emotional skills that impact students' lives.

The hands-on, project-oriented methodology makes these courses feel more like experiences of discovery and creative expression than lectures.

During the bootcamp, participants will:

• Program games, apps and interactions with Artificial Intelligence (AI);
• Work as a team and develop autonomy;
• Solve practical challenges with logical thinking;
• Experiment and fail safely and with encouragement.

These bootcamps are ideal for children and young people between the ages of 4 and 17, with or without prior programming experience. The content is organized by age group and knowledge level, ensuring that everyone learns at their own pace.
