Kids Co-a-thon 2026 Is Underway: Nearly 300 Young Coders Take On Level 1

Our coding competition is in progress, with nearly 300 young participants. In Level 1, each participant must debug, complete and expand a program, the same skills real developers use every day. Three winners will emerge at the end of the competition.

We are inviting companies, industry leaders and well-wishers to support these young innovators with prizes, devices and mentorship. Ideas. Code. Create.

Girls Can Build, Create and Lead with Technology

Every girl deserves the opportunity to explore, create and shape the digital future. At Gracotech Initiative we encourage girls to learn coding, design and problem-solving, and to see themselves as the builders and leaders of tomorrow’s technology.

Which tech skill would you like more girls to learn? Tag or encourage a young girl today, or enrol her in one of our programmes.

Why Schools Need Practical Digital Education

Technology is learned best by doing. When pupils spend time on real devices, writing code, designing and building, they understand concepts more deeply and gain confidence that theory alone cannot give.

We invite schools, organisations and education leaders to partner with Gracotech Initiative and bring hands-on technology learning to more classrooms.

Six Years of Learning, Creativity and Empowering Young Minds

We are celebrating six incredible years of Gracotech Initiative: six years of helping children and teenagers discover what they can do with technology, from their first lines of code to robots, designs and animations they are proud to share.

Thank you to every learner, parent, facilitator, school and partner who has been part of the journey. The best is still ahead.

2026 Recap: A Year of Coding and Digital Skills

This year our learners coded, designed, built and animated their way through new projects and programmes. We are grateful to our facilitators, parents, schools and partners who made it possible.

What was your favourite part of the journey? We would love to hear from you. Learn. Create. Grow.
