We Are Codio

Making your vision of CS education a reality.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make high-quality Computer Science education accessible to learners around the world.

Globally, education systems are embracing Computer Science as "the 4th science"—recognizing the vital role it plays in 21st-century life and employment. However, there’s a growing chasm between CS education and industry demand.

We believe that the theory and practice of Computer Science needn't be mutually exclusive. New technology can enhance and improve the teaching of core computational thinking skills and their practical creative expression in programming.

Codio delivers a teaching and learning experience that stimulates this creative potential in every student, developing the next generation of creators, not just consumers. That's why we empower teachers and students with the technology and learning resources needed to succeed.

By embracing the ideas that students and teachers are individuals, teaching styles differ and students advance at their own pace, Codio enables teachers and lecturers to support and coach students to better outcomes.

Let's talk!
