The 2015 edition of the campaign brought together children and young people, teachers, parents, industry and policymakers in thousands of events across Europe resulting in half a million people learning to create with code. For this year's edition, taking place from 15-23 October 2016, citizens from across Europe and beyond are once again invited to participate in the campaign and to learn the necessary skills to thrive in the digital era.
 
Hundreds of events are planned during the week. For example, the European Coding Initiative, along with European Schoolnet's Future Classroom Lab ambassadors and Learning Labs' network, will hold an international hackathon on 20 October 2016 in Brussels, where teams from schools and learning labs will have the chance to share their projects.
