Hacker School Spring Review

Hacker School Spring Review

A lot is happening at Hacker School. By 2026, we aim to reach 20,000 children and young people.This year we already inspired 11.000 children. 

We have launched a major fundraising campaign on UNESCO Digital Learning Day. Who is programming our future

As AI transforms our world at an ever-increasing pace, we can no longer afford to move at a snail’s pace. Our reality check:

49% of the young people on our courses have never programmed before.

This is not a minor issue. It is a huge missed opportunity.

Our CEO Dr Julia Freudenberg says: Digital learning must not be a privilege or a matter of chance

Thanks to the campaign, we were able to fund 25 Hacker School courses. It’s an opportunity for the next 700 students to write their first lines of code for the future and realise: I can do this too.

#GirlsDay 2026: We have opened the doors to the world of tech for young women! With the GIRL's Day on April 25th, we inspired a lot of girls for programming and IT job opportunities, received excellent feedback from the participants and partners.

Our new impact report will be published in May 2026. You will find it on our website.
