About

One school, one method,
one child at a time.

Codaquest was born from a simple conviction: children deserve a real coding school, not a club, not a summer camp, not a gamified app.

Our mission

Move to the
creator side.

Our children grow up with tools they don't understand. They play Minecraft, watch TikTok, chat with ChatGPT, without ever seeing what's behind it.

We want to give them that perspective. Teach them to pop the hood, tinker, and build their own tools. Not to turn them into engineers. To turn them into adults who know how to say no, suggest something else, and build.

Our story

From WeAreCoders to Codaquest.

Nine years of school, thousands of children, one mission that never moved: giving them a taste for creating.

  1. The origin.
    01 / 06

    2017

    The origin.

    Nathalie wondered whether her son, who loved video games (maybe a little too much), might love programming too. She started WeAreCoders.

  2. A dedicated space.
    02 / 06

    2020

    A dedicated space.

    Word spread, and more and more parents started asking. Unable to keep up with demand, we rented a dedicated space.

  3. Partnerships.
    03 / 06

    2022

    Partnerships.

    We work with Accueil Temps Libre d'Ixelles, CAP48, the Belgian State, French Connect, Silversquare, Le Printemps des Sciences, Printemps Numérique, the European Schools, Saint-André, the SOMA and many others.

  4. The Kids Coding Festival.
    04 / 06

    2023

    The Kids Coding Festival.

    We organised the Kids Coding Festival, which was a huge success after a feature on RTBF and introduced programming to hundreds of children.

  5. 1,000 children, a new brand.
    05 / 06

    2024

    1,000 children, a new brand.

    We crossed the 1,000-children mark. Part of WeAreCoders became Codaquest: new brand, same values, same team, same mission.

  6. The platform & AI.
    06 / 06

    2026

    The platform & AI.

    We build a platform so every child can keep creating between classes. AI is redefining how we work, create and learn. Our job is to prepare the next generation to use AI, so they can turn any idea into something absolutely wild.

Our convictions

What we believe in.

Learning digital creation has to be fun.

A child having fun is a child learning. We refuse dry exercises: every class starts from a project they care about and want to finish.

Spontaneous discovery beats imposed theory.

We don't recite chapters. Kids ask a question, try, fail, try again. That's how things actually stick.

Every child deserves to bring their ideas to life.

A game, an app, a website, a bot: we give them the tools and the support to go from idea to finished project they can show and share.

AI will change how we work. Kids need to be ready.

We don't train passive users. We teach them to collaborate with AI, understand its limits, and stay the source of their own ideas.

A word from the founder

"When I was 12, all I wanted was to play Roblox or Fortnite. Programming was the thing you saw in movies, something that felt totally out of reach. Since then, I've built hundreds of super cool projects, and I want other kids to get that same chance."
