The first edition of the Arab Code Week (ACW), launched on February 8th, 2021, and co-organized by ALECSO and the Tunisian Association for Educational Initiatives, was brought to a close on February 15th, 2021.
A host of events and activities were organized as part of the Arab Code Week, including, in particular, training workshops on “Scratch”, “Co-Spaces”, “Minecraft” and “Pixel Art”, seminars and competitions, virtual visits to Arab museums, discovery of young talents in modern technologies, and Open Days in primary schools.
The ACW activities witnessed massive participation from Arab students (over 200000), teachers (over 10000), and schools (over 1500).
No less than 13352 activities were registered on the ACW platform. Each activity was performed by a teacher with a group of his students, and was related to the main theme of the current ACW edition (Programming and decoration). Activities were designed to contribute to spreading the culture of programming for all.
The results of the competition will be announced during a ceremony scheduled for March 24, 2021 at ALECSO headquarters in Tunis. The ceremony will be broadcast live on the Internet and on a number of Arab satellite TV channels.
