EU Code Week 2026 in Romania
Join schools, teachers, students and communities across Europe in exploring coding and digital creativity.
10-25 October 2026
Organise a classroom activity, try robotics or AI, create a digital project, or explore computational thinking through activities without computers. There are many ways to take part, whatever your level of experience.
As the Romanian Hub leader for Code4Europe, POLITEHNICA Bucharest invites educators, organisations and local communities to get involved in EU Code Week 2026.
How can you take part?
Teachers and schools
Bring coding into your classroom through a practical activity, a robotics challenge, digital storytelling or computational thinking without computers. Use EU Code Week resources to prepare your session.
Students
Join an activity, create a digital project with classmates, or help organise a coding session in your school or community.
Families and community organisations
Try a coding activity at home or bring people together at a library, youth centre or community space.
Companies and mentors
Host a workshop, volunteer as a mentor or share your experience of working in technology with young people.
Universities and vocational education providers
Connect with local schools, involve students as mentors and introduce learners to digital study and career opportunities.
Resources for organisers
Looking for ideas or materials for your activity? Explore the EU Code Week guide and official toolkits for practical advice, teaching resources and promotional materials.
Choose an activity that fits your learners, plan the session and add it to the EU Code Week map so others can discover it.
Expanding digital education across the continent
Code4Europe is a European project launched in 2024 to expand and strengthen digital education across the continent. Funded with €6 million under the DIGITAL-2023-SKILLS-04-BOOSTINGDIGIT call within the DIGITAL Coordination and Support Actions, the project builds on the momentum of EU Code Week and supports a broader, more inclusive culture of digital participation.
Its mission is to inspire and empower the next generation of digitally-savvy Europeans by promoting digital literacy and coding skills, with the aim of increasing their entry into the digital workforce. Through collaboration between organisations across Europe, Code4Europe helps connect schools, educators, communities, volunteers and young people to meaningful learning opportunities in coding and digital creativity.
A European consortium for digital opportunity
Code4Europe brings together a broad European consortium of organisations working in education, digital skills, technology, communication and community engagement. Together, the partners contribute complementary expertise to support the development, visibility and long-term impact of EU Code Week across more than 20 countries.
The consortium combines strategic coordination, educational outreach, platform development, communication, community support and sustainability planning. This collaborative approach helps transform EU Code Week from an annual initiative into a stronger year-round movement that encourages participation, creativity and digital confidence among children and young people.
Our role in Code4Europe
POLITEHNICA Bucharest leads the Romanian Hub for Code4Europe, connecting schools, educators and local partners with EU Code Week and encouraging participation in coding and digital education activities.POLITEHNICA Bucharest contributes to Code4Europe through its involvement in National Hubs & Local Support, Careers in Digital, and Project Management & Quality Assurance. As one of Romania’s leading technical universities, POLITEHNICA Bucharest helps connect the European goals of Code4Europe with local educational communities, national stakeholders and future digital talent.
A key part of POLITEHNICA Bucharest’s role is its contribution to the Discover Digital Programme with Universities. The project proposal identifies Romania, together with Ireland, as a pilot location for the design and testing of this programme with local schools. Through this work, POLITEHNICA Bucharest supports activities that open access to university laboratories, advanced digital environments and campus-based experiences that encourage young people to consider digital and STEM study paths.
POLITEHNICA Bucharest also contributes to the local support dimension of EU Code Week by helping strengthen engagement with national communities and stakeholders, while supporting the project’s effective implementation through management and quality-oriented activities.
Why Code4Europe matters in Romania
In Romania, Code4Europe creates new opportunities to strengthen participation in digital education and to connect young people with coding, computational thinking and creative uses of technology. The project also helps support educators, organisers and local communities by giving them greater visibility, stronger resources and access to a wider European network.
For our organisation, this project is an opportunity to contribute both locally and at European level. It allows us to connect our experience, networks and initiatives with a broader movement that encourages inclusion, innovation and confidence in digital skills.
