"In the 21st century, age-appropriate digital education at primary schools is very important for the children's basic understanding and is a particular concern of mine. With the cody21 interactive video series, we have found a way to provide primary school children with a high-quality and entertaining introduction to the basics of the digital world.
Another reason why I think so highly of the cody21 solution is because it facilitates the work of teachers and headteachers in this area. The videos cover the entire digital lesson - with explanations, stories, tasks and solutions.
We are delighted that the cody21 lighthouse project in Vienna will enable all Viennese students to receive digital education for the first time this semester."
Heinrich Himmer / Director of Education for Vienna
