ArabCode.org was launched by CoursePeer Inc. as an initiative that aims to teach computer science
and coding to 1 million Arabs in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region, through an innovative
game-based approach. ArabCode has partnered with governments and corporations in the Middle East
(including Dubai Internet City) to deliver its programs. It has also delivered programs to refugees,
and was praised by many leaders, including Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
ArabCode.org is an interactive educational platform to learn professional programming languages
and frameworks, which enables users to start developing their own professional, interactive web and
mobile and applications. It allows users to watch videos, solve coding exercises and communicate with
our professional mentors, 24/7. Users receive certificates of completion from CoursePeer Inc., and
the platform provides an interface for corporations and governments to track their members' progress
in an intelligent environment.
