According to a statement by the organizers, #CodeCamp focuses not only coding, but on equipping young people with the belief, ability and essential leadership skills to be able to lead the pack in the emerging fast growing digital economy.

It noted that the Coronavirus lockdown had made it imperative for a  shift towards digitally-focused careers and acquire the technology to deploy in their work, businesses and daily living.

 

The statement said imparting digital skills is much more than teaching specific coding languages, adding that logical thinking and meta-skills such as mind-mapping and goal-setting developed in the course of the digital education would be taught to prepare young people to take their place in the society as knowledgeable individuals instead of being passive consumers.
