Code Club’s Impact on Bangladesh
At Code Club Bangladesh, we believe every child should have the opportunity to learn to code, regardless of their background or where they come from. Coding is not just a skill; it’s a way for young minds to unlock their creativity, develop problem-solving abilities, and gain confidence. As Shajahan Miah, the founder of Code Club Bangladesh, often says, “Every child has the potential to change the world, and coding is one of the best tools to help them realise that potential.”
In Bangladesh, Code Club Bangladesh continues to grow and expand, providing free coding education to children across the country. Through a network of educators and volunteers, children in Bangladesh have the opportunity to learn essential digital skills that will benefit them in their future education and careers.
As of 2023, Code Club Bangladesh has been expanding its outreach, working with local schools and organisations to create coding clubs and resources that are specifically tailored to the needs of Bangladeshi children. This includes local language support for easier access and engagement.
Since our founding in July 2016, we have worked alongside a nationwide network of volunteers and educators to run free coding clubs for children aged 9-13. These clubs provide a platform for young learners to build and share their ideas, learning valuable skills along the way. As Shajahan Miah puts it, “The power of coding lies in its ability to transform ideas into reality. Our clubs are not just about teaching kids how to write code – they’re about empowering them to create and innovate.”
With the support of organisations and volunteers in Bangladesh and beyond, we are committed to continuing the legacy Shajahan Miah started, ensuring that every child has access to the tools and opportunities to learn and grow through coding. “This is just the beginning,” Shajahan says. “Our work will have a lasting impact on the children of Bangladesh, and together, we can inspire a new generation of creators, innovators, and problem solvers.”
Code Club Bangladesh is proud to be part of the broader movement, in collaboration with Code Club International and the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which is a registered UK charity. Our mission aligns with the Foundation’s key educational goals of helping more young people learn how to build their ideas with code.
