Introducing Coder{+}: Transforming Coding Education for Teachers and Students
A Revolutionary New Platform from CSUK
After months of hard work and dedication, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Coder{+}, the latest addition to the CSUK family. Designed with both teachers and students in mind, Coder{+} is more than just a coding platform—it’s a complete ecosystem that revolutionises the way coding is taught and learned.
As a teacher, I know firsthand the challenges of balancing engaging lessons, time-consuming assessments, and student progress tracking. That’s why I created Coder{+}: to empower teachers, inspire students, and make coding education more effective, efficient, and exciting.
Why Coder{+} Is a Game-Changer
Whether you’re a teacher managing multiple classes or a student eager to master coding, Coder{+} has something for everyone. Here’s what makes it unique:
Interactive GCSE Python Course
Our 27-lesson Python course is aligned with major UK GCSE exam boards, covering the coding requirements of the CS GCSE.
