our team
cody21 and acodemy
"We know what it feels like to stand in front of a class and teach a completely new topic, a subject you are not yet fully confident with.
We developed cody21 to support every school and every teacher in providing basic digital education, computer science education, and media literacy."
cody21 is a product of acodemy GmbH, Austria's leading digital education institution for children.
Why are we the right choice for digital literacy?
cody21 was developed by our company, acodemy, to bring digital literacy, computer science, and media education to primary schools.
acodemy was Austria's first programming school for children, offering programming courses and holiday camps for young people aged 6 to 17. Over the past few years, we have inspired more than 30,000 children to explore coding, programming, and IT, and have received numerous awards for our work.
We have always paid close attention to what children and teens, both girls and boys, enjoy most and how they learn best.
The cody21 interactive video series is built on our extensive experience, combined with the knowledge and expertise gained through our studies and research.
You can find out more about acodemy on the acodemy website.
We are especially proud that...
Nothing makes us happier than seeing children's eyes light up, hearing insightful questions from our students, and receiving messages from teachers who tell us how much they enjoy using Cody. Teaching with Cody makes their work easier and more dynamic.
We are always delighted when our work is recognized by ministers, authorities, and the wider community. Here are a few examples:
We, the acodemy team, are proud of the awards we have received in the last years:
What we focused on with the cody21 video series...
We carefully developed the curriculum for the cody21 video series on computer science education and media literacy for primary schools, drawing on many years of experience in digital education for children. Our priority was to provide teaching and learning materials that
* are very easy for teachers to use,
* are produced to a high standard,
* are thoughtfully designed from both didactic and pedagogical perspectives,
* explain and present concepts in an age-appropriate way for primary school children,
* and make learning fun for students.

Our Values
At acodemy, we are guided by a set of core values and goals, both in how we teach and how we work:
We love children.
Children are at the heart of everything we do - they are our focus, our future, and the inspiration behind all our thoughts, feelings, and actions. They are the true measure of our success. We deeply value the trust parents place in us, and we carry this responsibility with the utmost care and respect.
Every child is unique.
Every child - every girl and every boy - is a unique individual, and we are honored to help them grow. We meet each child with empathy, and we respond to their needs and talents. We inspire and motivate, empower and nurture, and encourage them to take on new challenges at a pace that feels right for them.
Children's time is precious.
We value every moment they spend with us, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for, while helping them get the most out of their experience.
For us, success means building both skills AND enthusiasm in children.
Our programs are designed to help children build practical abilities in digital education and media literacy, all while making sure they are having lots of fun.
We believe that hands-on activities and creative media projects are the perfect way to make this happen.
We look to the world of tomorrow.
We design our programs with a clear focus on the skills that will be valuable for children in their future world.
Inspiration is at the heart of what we do.
We encourage children to discover and grow their own potential. For educators, this means being more than just great teachers or instructors. They are also mentors and positive role models for every child.
We believe in the power of change and continuous progress.
We keep moving, always looking for new possibilities, and turning them into reality. Others might try to follow, but we are always a step ahead!
In our programs, we set high standards and are always looking for new ways to improve.
