Codero x STEM Malaysia Hosts a Scratch Coding Competition for Children Aged 6–12

Codero is a technology, coding, and robotics learning center in Indonesia dedicated to fostering creativity, critical thinking, and technological understanding from an early age. We offer a variety of programs that can be integrated into both in-school and after-school activities.

We believe that every child has boundless imagination. As a technology learning center, our mission is simple: to help children hone their creativity and logic from an early age through fun and engaging methods. This year, we’re taking a bigger step. Codero, in partnership with STEM Malaysia, is proud to present the ASEAN Coding Competition (ACC) 2026.

Perhaps there has been a perception that the world of programming or coding belongs only to adults. However, through this children’s coding competition, we want to prove that great ideas can come from children’s minds.

In this competition, the little ones will be invited to create using Scratch. Parents don’t need to worry about complicated lines of code; in Scratch, children simply arrange visual blocks—just like playing a puzzle—to create animations, games, and even interactive stories. This is the easiest and most fun way to practice systematic thinking without making them feel overwhelmed.

Making Friends and Competing on an International Level

With the theme “Creative Kids, Bright Future,” this competition serves as a platform for children from across Southeast Asia—from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore to the Philippines. This is a Scratch coding competition for children ages 6–12 that offers an extraordinary experience for young participants to experience the atmosphere of international collaboration from an early age.
