"In the 21st century, it is more important than ever for children in primary school to receive age-appropriate digital education. Helping kids build a solid understanding of the digital world is something I care deeply about. That is why I am so proud of the cody21 interactive video series, we have created a fun and high-quality way to give young students the essential introduction to digital basics that they urgently need.
I also really value the cody21 product because it makes things much easier for teachers and head teachers. The videos cover everything - with explanations, stories, practical tasks and solutions.
We are delighted that the cody21, a lighthouse project in Vienna, will give all children in Vienna access to digital education for the first time this semester."
