Brisbane startup Zenva has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help fund a brand new mobile app for learning coding on the go.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Codemurai is aiming to make you a coding master through short, interactive lessons that can be completed while waiting at a bus stop and throughout the day, Zenva founder Pablo Farias says.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s kind of like playing a game where you learn concepts,\u201d Farias tells StartupSmart.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The app will focus on three areas of programming: games, apps and website development, with course modules in a range of topics from HTML and CSS to Java Script.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Its design will incorporate gamification to encourage users to develop programming skills through reward and point systems that motivate regular use.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With all course modules expected to be available by December 2016 and a long-term vision to empower millions around the world with new coding skills that could lead to better job opportunities and careers, the startup has launched a Kickstarter campaign aiming to raise $20,000.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Farias says he has already authored more than 40 online programming courses empowering over 150,000 students worldwide through Zenva.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe more people I can give to the better,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
