We partner with schools to bring coding education to kids who’ll build tomorrow’s world!
-
CodeCollabs is a coding education programme designed to bring real, industry-led tech skills into your school — inspiring the next generation of innovators before they even know what's possible.
We partner with schools to deliver hands-on coding sessions that go beyond the curriculum. Our lessons are designed to spark curiosity, build creative thinking, and show every child — regardless of background — that a future in tech is within their reach.
We live in a world where children are growing up as consumers of technology — scrolling, watching, and clicking. We want to flip that. By teaching children to code, we help them become creators — turning screen time into build time, and passive habits into purposeful skills that will serve them for life.
-
Every session we run is hands-on, practical, and built around one goal — making coding click for every child in the room.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Our lessons are designed to meet children where they are, blending real-world projects with age-appropriate challenges that keep them engaged, curious, and coming back for more.
We work closely with each school to ensure our sessions complement what's already being taught — slotting in seamlessly alongside your curriculum while bringing something genuinely fresh and exciting to the classroom.
-
We work with all schools — primary, secondary, state, independent, and SEN settings. We believe every child deserves access to quality coding education, regardless of their learning needs or background.
Our sessions are designed to be inclusive and adaptable, ensuring every student — whatever their ability or learning style — can participate, engage, and thrive.
Meet the Founder
I built CodeCollabs because I lived the problem — and I knew education was the only real solution."
With over 5 years of experience as a software engineer across multiple companies, I've had a career many aspire to. But the path wasn't easy. As a Black woman in tech, I've often found myself the only person in the room who looked like me — navigating an industry that wasn't always built with people like me in mind.
That experience gave me a perspective I couldn't ignore. Today's tech industry is harder than ever to break into, particularly for those without a traditional Computer Science degree or access to the right networks. I studied CS myself, so I saw first-hand the doors it opened — and I couldn't stop thinking about everyone it was closing them on.
The solution isn't to fix the job market. It's to start earlier.
That's why I founded CodeCollabs — to work alongside schools and give every child, regardless of background, a genuine head start. Not just in coding, but in confidence, problem-solving, and the belief that a future in tech is for them too. We're here to turn screen time from passive consumption into active creation, and to ensure the next generation of tech leaders reflects the full diversity of the world they'll be building.
I'd love to bring that mission into your school.”
