In partnership with brands like Duolingo, Casper, Twitch and more, offers a full day of interactive sessions and online activities 
With school closures and classes moving online across the nation, Codecademy is partnering with Y Combinator, Duolingo, Twitch and dozens of other organizations to host “Learn From Home Day” on Wednesday, May 13, from 10:45 - 5:45 ET.

Learn From Home Day will be a free global online event for people interested in learning and self-improvement. The event will be chock full of interactive classes and sessions ranging from guided meditation and drawing for inner calmness, to mixing a song and streaming best practices, to home cooking with Food52.

 Zach Sims, CEO and Co-Founder of Codecademy, says: “This moment in time with the global pandemic is bigger than any one of us — and that’s why we need to come together. By collaborating with other brands to host the inaugural ‘Learn From Home Day,’ we want to help people feel a greater sense of purpose, inspire them to learn more, and feel a little less alone. The takeaway will be that you can learn a new skill from anywhere, at any time, and gain a greater feeling of accomplishment, growth, and optimism as a result.”

Registration for the event will go live on Monday, May 11 at codecademy.com/events/learn-from-home-day.

Confirmed classes and partners to date include: 
  • Jerry Colonna, CEO at Reboot (keynote)
  • ‘Cooking at Home’ with Food52 
  • ‘On Startups’ with Y Combinator
  • ‘Mix a Song’ with Splice

  • ‘Sleeping Well’ with Casper and Dr. Frank Lipman

Codecademy had the idea to launch this global day of free learning sessions after the mass interest it received when it teamed up with other edtech giants including Brainly and Skillshare to launch the Learn From Home Club last month.
