Ireland cracks the code to be EU digital trailblazer

Ireland copper fastened its reputation as a digital trailblazer this month, having organised in excess of 500 individual events for European Code Week — more than any other participating country.

The aim of the initiative is to highlight the importance of computer coding, especially in relation to future generations, and encourage people to improve their digital skills.

It also seeks to showcase the fun side of coding and dispel the myth that you have to be a genius to code.
