BeBlocky, Inc. is an educational technology company based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, dedicated to teaching children the fundamentals of programming and robotics. Founded in 2017, BeBlocky has created an engaging learning application that employs a gamified approach to coding education. Inspired by the widely used Scratch Programming Language, the platform utilizes graphical programming blocks that allow children to learn coding by dragging and snapping these blocks together to solve puzzles with the character, Blockys. This interactive and intuitive design enables users to learn at their own pace, making programming accessible to young learners across Africa. By offering coding tutorials as users progress through lessons, BeBlocky aims to address the continent's shortage of developers and equip future generations with essential technological skills.
