Coding simplicity into learning
Education startup Code Gakko uses a customised platform and materials to boost instruction consistency and also aid in its expansion plans.
CODING made so simple that even a non-coder could teach it to primary school students. That is the goal of local coding education startup Code Gakko. Named after the Japanese word for "school", Code Gakko is inspired by the Japanese school culture of independent learning and academic excellence.
Founded in July 2016 by three Yale-NUS College students (see amendment note), the startup is developing its own coding platform GakkoBlocks, complete with slides, videos and a teacher's dashboard to make teaching as simple as following a lesson plan.
By providing prepared materials, Code Gakko can guarantee more consistency in its education, and scale faster in countries where trained instructors are in short supply. Leveraging this scalability, the startup plans to reach as many as 16 new countries within 2018.
