There are 62 children’s groups in cities across Ukraine – 18 online for distance learning and 44 offline.
A programming course for children was launched in Ukraine. Currently, 672 students master IT basics, the press service of the Favbet Foundation reported on Thursday, March 21.
We are talking about a joint project with the All-Ukrainian educational initiative Code Club Ukraine. In total, there are now 62 groups – 18 online for distance learning and 44 offline in classrooms across Ukraine: Dnipro, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kropyvnytskyi, Krivoy Rog, Lviv, Donetsk region, Odessa, Poltava and Cherkassy. Almost one-third of the students are children from the families of military personnel and IDPs.
“This is the second project that we are launching together with Code Club Ukraine. The demand for high-quality education of children in the field of technology is very high, so we will gradually increase the amount of training so that Ukrainian children receive modern knowledge even in war conditions,” they told the Favbet Foundation.
The founders of the project dedicated the new course to teaching a younger audience – children aged 8-11 years. Therefore, we chose Scratch to study – a visual programming language, thanks to which even beginners can easily create animations, interactive stories and even games.

The head of Code Club Ukraine, Alina Shcherbina, said that educational programs were developed by Aitovites specifically for children. They have a practical side and are made in a playful way. However, all courses are free for students since the initiative was created nine years ago.
So, last year, the Favbet Foundation and Code Club Ukraine launched the IT Kids initiative and organized a programming course called New Python. 352 children took it. Students study the language’s syntax and core libraries, and become familiar with the basic principles of object-oriented programming.
It was previously reported that the Favbet Foundation has donated more than 250 vehicles for the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion.
