Go to IT: schoolchildren and college students of Tatarstan can learn programming for free at the courses of the "Code of the Future" project

In September, high school students and college students in our region will be able not only to sit down at their usual classrooms, but also to enroll in free programming courses - to take the first step in a new and promising field of IT. Schoolchildren from Tatarstan have been participating in the Code of the Future project for several years now. Free education became possible due to the national project "Digital Economy". More than 7,400 children are enrolled in courses from leading IT companies and universities as part of the first enrollment. They were able not only to learn popular programming languages for free, but also to master other promising skills of IT professionals - application development, games, data analytics, machine learning, etc.

In 2022, the largest number of students chose to learn Python – almost 50 per cent of them studied this programming language in courses.

In second place are C# and JavaScript. Initially, Code of the Future was aimed at schoolchildren of 8-11 grades, but from 2023 college and technical school students can also apply. The new enrollment started in July 2023, the courses will be able to enroll more than 140,000 children from all over the country.
