Student focus
The program is designed around high-school learners and local school partnerships.
Python
First language
Python gives students a practical entry point for certification, problem solving, and projects.
Proof
Outcome mindset
Students should leave with progress records, projects, and certification readiness.
Mission
Caribbean Code helps Jamaican high-school students build practical coding skills through structured lessons, online practice, project work, and preparation for recognized certification milestones.
The first Caribbean Code live lesson is planned for July 7 from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Students can use the Google Meet link posted at the top of this page and on the Live Lessons page.
The current class is already underway, so students should use the live lesson link at the top of this page when it is time to join online.
What Students Learn
The program starts with Python and PCEP readiness, then supports students through problem-solving practice and project-based evidence of skill.
Online coding practice
Problem Solving
Practice ladders that let students solve coding problems directly on the website through beginner, intermediate, hard, and expert categories.
External validation
Projects + Competitions
Students turn skills into portfolio projects, demos, and submissions for competitions or certification milestones.
What Students Will Be Able To Do
Students will work toward being able to build practical Python skills, complete structured practice, and explain their progress with confidence.
Write Python programs using variables, input/output, conditionals, loops, lists, strings, and functions
Solve beginner coding problems
Complete quizzes and practice tests
Understand basic algorithmic thinking
Use a browser-based coding environment
Prepare for an entry-level programming certification
Build confidence with practical computer science tools
How the Program Works
Python and PCEP track
Students learn Python syntax, control flow, functions, core data structures, and PCEP exam domains through a focused curriculum and OpenEDG-aligned practice expectations.
Coding practice track
Practice ladders help students solve coding problems directly on the website with levels, topics, solved status, and judge-backed code submissions.
Projects and validation
Students build demos, portfolio pieces, and competition-ready work so their progress can be understood beyond the platform.
Live Lessons and Practice
Live online lessons give students a regular learning rhythm, while the website tracks quizzes, coding practice, submissions, and lesson progress.
Live lesson structure
Current plans include three unique lessons per week plus an optional Saturday review and extra practice session. The schedule may be adjusted to better fit students' availability.
Website practice
Students can review curriculum pages, complete quizzes, solve coding problems, and use the online code workspace as they prepare.
Certification Preparation
Caribbean Code is designed around serious preparation, not just attendance.
Attending every live class is strongly recommended, but completing required practice tests and quizzes on the website will be required before receiving a certification exam voucher. Those quizzes and practice tests will be added to the website as the class progresses.
School Partnerships
Caribbean Code is built to be useful to schools, families, mentors, sponsors, and students.
What schools support
Schools can help by sharing the opportunity with students, identifying interested students, and providing a school contact for coordination.
What partners support
Partners can support exam access, mentorship, project feedback, and responsible pathways for students to keep learning.
