About Canada Learning Code Week

Canada Learning Code Week is an annual call to action for people in Canada to teach or learn how to code. It’s about using technology to create amazing things together in a fun, easy and engaging way.

This year, from December 5-11, school teachers in Canada (that’s you!) will teach Canada Learning Code Week lesson plans to unlock – drumroll please – 🪐🔥😼🦄 Emoji World 🪐🔥😼🦄 for their classes to bring to life!

Your students will get to envision and express themselves in this world through their favourite emojis, representing the big impact we can make when we collectively code 🤩

You, the teachers, create possibility ✨. And during Canada Learning Code Week, together, we will harness the power of technology and empower thousands of students to use code to think, design and build.
