Codelearn

What Codelearn does

Codelearn is a Spanish educational technology company founded in 2013 in Barcelona by a team of technology professionals, originally to address the gap between labor market needs for programming skills and the limited availability of quality coding extracurriculars for children. It teaches computational thinking, programming, and robotics primarily to children and adolescents aged 7–18, with a secondary segment covering university students and adult lifelong learners.

The company's core offering is built on a proprietary gamified online learning platform featuring an adventure-based curriculum where students take on the role of heroes, follow characters (Tortuga, Hada, Marrameu) through stories, and complete programming challenges to earn points, objects, and avatars. The curriculum spans multiple years and progresses from visual programming environments (Logo, Karel, Scratch) through professional languages (Python, C++, Java, AppInventor) and into specialized tracks including robotics (Arduino, Lego Mindstorms, MBots, Edison), video game development (Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, Roblox Studio, Scratch, Processing), electronics, 3D design (TinkerCAD, Blender), digital arts, and AI tools. The platform provides 24/7 access, personalized tutor support, quarterly parent reports, and a team-based competition league (Codeathlon). Content is delivered via three product lines: weekly extracurricular classes at 25+ physical centers across Spain and Andorra, an online-only subscription modality accessible globally, and seasonal Campus Tecnológicos intensive courses during school breaks.

Codelearn generates revenue through three primary streams: recurring monthly subscriptions for the in-person extraescolar classes (priced per center) and the online Plan para Universitarios (€95/month with PayPal and card payment), one-time fees for technology camps (e.g., €140 for a 5-day ChatGPT course), and B2B revenue from school partnerships and teacher training. Go-to-market is hybrid: community-led via physical centers serving as referral nodes, event-driven through seasonal camps as an acquisition channel, and direct-to-consumer via online enrollment. The company is privately held, founder-led, and operates without disclosed institutional investors.

Core offering

Codelearn teaches programming and robotics to children, teenagers, and university students through a gamified, narrative-driven curriculum delivered via both physical learning centers and an online platform. Its product set includes weekly extracurricular classes (Extraescolar de Programación y Robótica), a self-paced online subscription (Codelearn Online), seasonal technology day-camps (Campus Tecnológicos), a university plan, and the inter-center Codeathlon competition.

Product overview

Codelearn is an out-of-school programming, robotics, and computational thinking education provider offering a portfolio of products: the core Extraescolar de Programación (in-person and online programming classes using the proprietary Codelearn Method featuring a gamified adventure-based platform with characters and comics), supplemented by Campus Tecnológicos (intensive tech camps covering Minecraft, robotics, video game development with Unity/Unreal/Godot/Roblox, electronics with Arduino, 3D design, and AI tools), and a Plan para Universitarios (university student tutoring). The products are differentiated by delivery format (in-person centers, online, or camps) and target age (children, teens, university students), unified by the gamified learning platform and method.
