At an event held on 7 March, the company was recognised for the work it has been doing through its EasyPeasyCoding brand to rethink the way coding is taught and learned.

Since it started a year ago at the TAKEOFF Incubator of the University of Malta, Headstart Technology has rolled out EasyPeasyCoding courses to seven schools in Malta and two in Paris, trained hundreds of students, and networked with thousands more at events promoting the importance of coding for children of all ages.

'It has been an exciting year for all of us here and being selected as one of the finalists is extremely gratifying for the whole team. We want to thank everyone who helped us get to this point,' said Klaus Conrad, Founder and Director of Headstart Technology Limited. 'We believe that coding is the single most empowering skill a child, teacher or parent can learn today, and we want to offer the very best learning experience for each and every student.'

The company has big plans and is slated to roll out to more markets this year, including the United Arab Emirates and Chile. Headstart has also signed agreements with the world’s most innovative 'edtech' companies to bring the best resources to its students at price points that anyone can afford. Some of these companies will be joining Headstart at the Malta Robotics Olympiad at the end of March.

The two finalists of IdeasFromMalta will now present at the Informal Meeting of the Competitiveness Ministers of the EU on 6 April, and the winner will be representing Malta at the Ideas From Europe finals in Estonia in November.
