The most effective way to master digital skills needed in worklife

June 3, 2024, Code School Finland

We’ve discovered the most effective approach to mastering AI, coding, and essential work-life skills. Our method harnesses high school students’ natural tendencies for peer learning and their innate curiosity about diverse cultures.

“With my team we were able to solve all the challenges! Sometimes it took a lot of trying but we knew that eventually we would smash it!”

In our Future Skills Camp, we create an environment where students from different countries get together and learn from each other. This peer-driven approach not only makes the learning process more engaging but also enhances retention and understanding. Moreover, by integrating cultural exploration, we foster a global perspective that prepares students for the interconnected world.

Wasabi treats from Japan

This year there were 44 students from the Ritsumeikan highschool in Japan and 24 students from Oulu Finland. We have had the pleasure of hosting the Ritsumeikan students for three years already and they have always had a strong work ethic and great sense of responsibility. And bags full of Japanese sweets sometimes unexpectedly flavoured with wasabi!

60% increase in learning outcome

During a 5 day camp students formed pretend software companies with funny names such as Bunny Building and Geegle. Despite the playful names, the learning outcomes were seriously remarkable.

  • Students’s coding skills increased by 60%
  • Students’ self-perception as effective collaborators improved significantly
  • 100% of the students would attend the camp again

The confidence and skills they gain during the camp ensure that they will continue to practise and develop these crucial abilities long after the camp has ended.

“I’m no longer nervous about AI!”
