+Europe Code Week is in full swing all over the EU. Events are still being added to the [Coding Map of Europe](/map/) and we're really close to reaching the magic number of 300 #codeEU events!
+
+Yesterday we highlighted some of the best moments of the [first #codeEU day](http://codeweek.eu/news/2013/11/25/best-moments-of-code-week-day-1.html) that mostly featured kids learning to code in schools. Our favorite photo from the second day shows that it's never to late to learn a new skill, even coding.

+
+[Julie Cullen](https://twitter.com/cullej29), our Irish #codeEU ambassador, gave a [great interview](http://technology.ie/julie-perfect-ambassador-europe-code-week-audio/) for the Technology.ie podcast in which she talks about how the Code Week started and reminds us that coding isn't just for programmers. And yes, Julie and many of the other volunteers who are organizing various Code Week events, aren't programmers.   The only prerequisite you need to join Code Week is an eagerness to learn new digital skills that can help you regardless of what your profession is.
+
+We also love the smiles we received from a #codeEU event in Warsaw, Poland. Yes, learning new things can be fun!

+
+Finally, a glimpse into a #codeEU event in Cyprus, which combined both coding and robotics (this week is also [European Robotics Week](http://www.eu-robotics.net/eurobotics-week/)). Another great example of how coding can be applied to a lot of different fields.

+If you're hosting your #codeEU event in the next days, don't forget that we can't wait to see more photos posted on [Twitter](http://twitter.com/{{site.contact.twitter}}) and [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/{{site.contact.facebook}}) under the hashtag [#codeEU](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23codeEU&src=typd).
