About Hetao Programming
Hetao Programming, known by its Hetao101 domain, is a Beijing education-technology company founded in 2017 that specialises in teaching programming to children and teenagers. Its approach is simple: students learn to code by creating projects, following a progressive ten-level curriculum that runs from first visual blocks to more advanced languages and concepts.
The model combines interactive recorded lessons with a dual-teacher system supported by artificial intelligence: the AI adapts the pace and spots difficulties, while real teachers answer questions and guide progress. The curriculum draws on international standards for school computing education and on adaptive-learning methods, and the company also offers an app so families can follow progress, review lessons and receive feedback.
Hetao grew through several funding rounds from top-tier investors and reached hundreds of thousands of registered students in dozens of countries, becoming one of China's reference brands in children's coding. Its official website, in Chinese, presents the courses by age, the level system and access to its apps and services for students and parents.
