CodeAlgo Academy

About the project

At CodeAlgo Academy, we believe every child is a genius. Our platform offers both in-class and online learning opportunities where students learn real coding through interactive games and practical challenges. The approach emphasizes problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration, helping prepare students for future STEM careers.

Project goals

• •Make coding education engaging and accessible for K-8 students.
• •Use gamification to simplify and clarify coding concepts.
• •Bridge the technology literacy gap in underrepresented communities.
• •Equip students with practical problem-solving skills for future success.

Achievements

• •Collaborated with backend engineers to integrate modern and legacy systems, delivering a fast-loading MVP within six months, improving development efficiency and setting new project benchmarks.
• •Developed marketing and email UI components for launch design, boosting task progress by 50% and adding to a successful product launch that met all deadlines.
• •Established frontend code quality assessment criteria with the tech lead, guaranteeing code consistency and reducing post-launch defects by 20%.

Challenges encountered

Developing a platform that is both fun and educational for young learners required extensive research and testing. We had to balance an engaging experience with real coding practice, while managing feedback from a diverse group of beta users.

Solutions

We used gamification techniques and interactive challenges rooted in educational research to create lessons that are both enjoyable and effective. Collaboration with educators and tech experts helped us continuously refine the platform based on real user feedback.
