We bring practical IT skills into classrooms

Product, design and code for high-school students

Codesters Club is a Digital Product Development program started by the Riesenkampff Foundation in order to provide future-oriented technology education for gymnasium level pupils in Estonia. We unite the best of both, business and academia and offer free of charge technology classes in cooperation with local schools.

As opposed to regular coding schools, codesters.club focuses not on teaching a particular programming language, but on training a combination of soft and technical skills needed to deliver digital products that users would love.

That means that during the three year program our pupils will have a chance to try out the shoes of a UX designer, front-end and back-end developer, project manager and understand which role they feel best in.

How do we learn

Student feedback

I am very proud of being a part of the codesters world.

I won't lie, these activities take up a lot of time and energy that I could spend with my family or friends ... But I have never been so interested in the process. This is a completely different world of learning.

Learning new things, especially digital, is always pretty fun. This kind of thing is becoming more and more popular these days so I'm glad I chose this subject.

These lessons gave me a clear idea on what i want to do in the future. This course has so may benefits (like visiting companies before the lockdown etc). I am really happy that I decided to join this course :)
