‍CodeWeek is a grassroots European Commission initiative that aims to bring coding and digital literacy to young people in a fun and engaging way. It is primarily celebrated in Europe as EU Code Week, but the movement has gained global participation over the past few years.
Held annually, usually in October, CodeWeek features a wide range of activities such as coding workshops, hackathons, robotics events, and computer science classes. These events are organised by schools, teachers, libraries, tech communities, and volunteers who believe in the power of digital skills.
The goal of the new website was to better support its vision to promote coding and digital skills across Europe. With growing participation and evolving digital needs, a more modern, user-friendly, and scalable platform was essential. The new site serves as a central hub for discovering and registering for events, accessing educational resources, and connecting with the community.
The focus was on improving the experience for core users—teachers, students, parents, and young coders—while also equipping ambassadors and volunteers with better tools. Key features will include an interactive event map, streamlined event registration, multilingual content, and a dedicated dashboard for organisers.
The design had to be colorful, approachable, and energetic — reflecting the spirit of creativity and collaboration that defines CodeWeek. The introduction of bold, friendly typography, vibrant imagery and subtle animations created an engaging experience for users of all ages.
The redesigned CodeWeek website delivers a bright, dynamic, and inclusive visual experience that captures the energy of Europe’s growing coding movement. With a bold colour palette, playful yet professional typography, and vibrant imagery, the site feels welcoming and engaging for users of all ages—especially students, teachers, and families.
The layout is clean and intuitive, guiding users effortlessly to key actions like discovering events via an interactive map, registering quickly through a simplified form, or accessing educational resources. Subtle animations and responsive design bring the site to life across all devices, reinforcing a sense of interactivity and fun.
Multilingual content ensures accessibility across Europe, while a streamlined dashboard equips ambassadors and organisers with the tools they need to manage events and engage their communities.
The relaunch not only enhances usability and access but also strengthens CodeWeek’s role as a vibrant, pan-European hub for digital education, inspiration, and community connection.
