Code

Core features

• 1. A clear and student-friendly coding environment

  Students work in a structured coding environment focused on understanding and learning: 

  • Clear division into tasks, files, and steps 

  • Clear display of code, output, and errors 

  • Ongoing explanations and help texts 

  • Ability to test and refine solutions 

  The environment enables students to actively read code and understand the link between instruction and result. 

• 2. Many ready-made teaching units 

  Code includes a wide range of pedagogically designed learning units: 

  • Units organized by level and progression 

  • Step-by-step tasks with clear learning objectives 

  • Cross-curricular units (e.g. mathematics, science, and technology) 

  • Project-based units with problem definition, solution, and presentation 

  The units can be used directly in teaching or adapted by the teacher. 

• 3. Reading training through coding 

  Students work systematically with reading: 

  • Reading and understanding task descriptions 

  • Reading code, comments, and explanations 

  • Interpreting error messages and feedback 

  • Comparing different solution approaches 

  This strengthens students’ ability to read subject-specific texts and instructions precisely. 

• 4. Writing and subject-specific formulation 

  Writing is an integrated part of working in Code: 

  • Students write code with correct structure and syntax 

  • They formulate comments, explanations, and reflections 

  • They describe choices, solutions, and results 

  • They work with subject-specific concepts and precise language 

  Writing is used both as a thinking tool and as documentation of learning. 

• 5. AI support as a learning aid 

  Code can provide intelligent support in the learning process: 

  • Explains code and concepts in student-friendly language 

  • Helps students understand why something works—or does not work 

  • Suggests improvements and alternative solutions 

  • Supports reflection rather than providing ready-made answers 

  Students practice critical use of AI as a learning support. 

• 6. Transfer and application of code and data 

  Students’ work in Code can be reused: 

  • Export of code to other systems 

  • Transfer of data in standard formats 

  • Use in projects, analyses, or digital products 

  • Connection between teaching and real-world applications 

  This gives students experience of their work having real value.
