Mimo teaches coding through short lessons. Super-short lessons. As in, short enough to learn while you’re waiting for coffee. You’ll be surprised how far a few five-minute lessons can get you.

What we love: Mimo makes coding feel like a game – complete lessons to earn coins and achieve streaks, all while maintaining your hearts, which serve as your in-game health meter. As you progress, you’ll move on to fill-in-the-blank challenges, interactive exercises and, before long, actual coding.

Quick tip: Need a refresher on a specific concept but don’t have time to take the whole lesson? Mimo’s glossary guides you right to the information you need.

Meet the creator: Mimo was founded by Austrian app developer Johannes Berger and three friends to dispel the misconceptions about computer science that kept many of their peers from pursuing coding. The app’s mission is to make technology education universally accessible.
