Coding education in Jamaica

Helping Jamaican high-school students learn coding and prepare for recognized credentials.

Caribbean Code expands access to practical computer science education for high-school students in Jamaica through structured curriculum, coding practice, project development, and preparation for recognized technology certifications.

First cohort goal

Python + OpenEDG + PCEP readiness

The first cohort focuses on a practical 4-week Python plan, OpenEDG-aligned practice, coding problem solving, and project work that students can explain to teachers, mentors, and future programs.
