South Carolina has launched a free coding education platform, SC Codes, which allows state residents to learn the skill. The platform is structured to meet the needs of beginners to advanced learners, from elementary school students to adults. The platform is available free-of-charge to any resident with access to the internet. The program, which was developed in cooperation with local nonprofit Build Carolina, offers an assortment of coding curricula. Residents can access all materials online, but they can attend cohort-style and classroom-led sessions at participating community partners. “Our ability to compete in the global economy will rely on the availability of an educated, job-ready technology workforce in South Carolina,” South Carolina Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt said in a statement. “SC Codes will help us develop such talent, preparing the citizens of this state for the jobs of tomorrow.”
