Our Story & Foundation
Why I Started iCodejr
I started iCodejr after spending years observing a growing disconnect between what children were learning in traditional classrooms and what the real world of technology actually demands.
Schools do an important job building academic foundations, but technology doesn’t evolve on academic timelines. It moves fast, it rewards problem-solving over memorisation, and it demands creativity, adaptability, and practical thinking.
What became clear was that technology needed to be taught the way we teach language or mathematics: early, progressively, and with structure. Children don’t need exposure for exposure’s sake — they need carefully designed learning journeys that grow with them.
iCodejr was created to bridge that gap. From the very beginning, our focus has been on structured learning pathways where students move from foundational thinking to applied skills across coding, robotics, AI, and emerging technologies.
As technology continues to shape every industry and profession, our responsibility as educators is not just to teach tools, but to help young learners develop the mindset to adapt, build, and contribute meaningfully.
