Context
LessonUp is an online Blended Learning platform developed by the Netherlands' FutureNL Foundation (formed in 2017 from a merger of The Dreamery Foundation and Code Uur), aiming to embed digital literacy into the Dutch curriculum for children, young people, and teachers, including marginalised groups.
Objectives
To integrate coding and digital skills into the national curriculum and connect the digital-skills pipeline from education to employment, in a country with 99.4% internet penetration but slow classroom digitalisation.
Activities
Free classes in schools, free teacher workshops, and collaboration with government on new lesson materials, plus the free weekly 'Code Hour' (Code Uur/Digi Doer) coding lessons developed with corporate sponsors. The platform is available via web, Apple, and Android apps with personalised, cloud-based content, and partners include the Dutch Ministry of Finance, Google, Van Gogh Museum, SIDN, and university researchers including TU Delft.
Results
An early pilot project involved an attempt to have 10,000 young coders break a world record; annual reports for 2017 and 2018 are cited as containing further outcome data, though that data is not detailed in this description.
