KYOCERA launches
KYOCodes
KYOCERA Document Solutions has extended
its partnership with Fujitsu and launched
KYOCodes, a new educational competition
to find the app developers of tomorrow.
The coding challenge is open to all education
establishments in the Fujitsu Education
Ambassador Programme, strengthening
KYOCERA’s commitment to this programme and
addressing an ongoing need to embrace computer
sciences and digital literacy at an early age.
Tracey Rawling-Church at KYOCERA Document
Solutions UK said: “We’re proud to support the
Fujitsu Education Ambassador Programme to
transform the lives of children and young adults
across the UK who might not otherwise have
the opportunity. We hope that the KYOCodes
initiative inspires these pupils to try their hand at
developing an app, and shows just how achievable
a career path this can be.”
All of the Fujitsu Education Ambassador sites
will be invited to take part in a 10 week coding
challenge, where they’ll be asked to design a
brand new app for KYOCERA’s suite of application
software, powered by HyPAS. The winning team
will be the one that designs the app which best
meets a real business need and challenge.
