Small Grants for Grassroots Coding Projects in Ireland as part of EU Code Week

Application Process

Interested organisations are invited to submit a project proposal by

Applications must be submitted through EU Code Week Grant Application 2025/26

Evaluation and Selection

A selection committee comprising community stakeholders (e.g., leading teachers, education coordinators, Industry Leads) and representatives from the Regional/National Hub will evaluate proposals.

Evaluation Criteria Details

Proposals will be assessed based on:

• Presentation, which assesses the project through the categories of clarity and completeness.
• Design congruity, which assesses the significance of the objectives in relation to Code Week’s priorities and whether the activities design is consistent with these objectives and appropriate for their achievement. Additionally, the feasibility of activities is assessed by taking into consideration: the activities timeline as well as the professional, organizational and technological resources available.
• Education in coding and computational thinking, which assesses the centrality of coding and computational thinking through the proposed use of coding approaches (block languages, unplugged coding, etc), languages, and mediators.
• Quality of the proposal, which is assessed by considering didactic elements, such as methodological choices; the proposal connection with core disciplines (literacy, numeracy, data and digital literacy – OECD Learning Compass; CoE Keis competencies for LLL 2018). Secondly, those elements are also taken into consideration: the use of assessment tools; the development of synergies in territorial contexts and collaborative networks to improve the efficacy of the initiative and involve the various stakeholders. Finally, the following features are appreciated: a broader timeframe extending before and beyond the temporal dimension of the single ‘week’; the sharing of resources and materials to foster the replicability of activities.
• Impact is assessed by considering: the involvement of multiple classes, schools, different participants categories and the local context. Specific attention to the involvement of girls and fostering STEM education are also assessed.

Where possible, priority will be given to projects involving upper secondary schools and engagement of ‘leading teachers’ in the project.
