Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched “Programming4Youth: Code Like a Cook,” a beginner-friendly educational book designed to introduce young learners to blockchain development and decentralized applications through simple, everyday analogies.

The initiative is part of Bitget’s Blockchain4Youth and Blockchain4Her programs, developed in collaboration with GANAP with Eli, and reflects the company’s broader effort to address the growing demand for accessible blockchain education as global interest in Web3 continues to rise.

Learning blockchain through everyday analogies

Instead of relying on technical-heavy instruction, Code Like a Cook translates core programming concepts into familiar cooking experiences to make them easier to understand for first-time learners.

In the book’s framework:

  • Ingredients represent pieces of code
  • Recipes illustrate algorithms and logic
  • Tools refer to platforms such as Remix and MetaMask
  • Cooking symbolizes running code
  • Plating represents deploying and sharing applications

This approach is designed to break down complex blockchain concepts into intuitive, visual steps, helping beginners without coding experience engage more confidently with Web3 development.

“Making the first step easier”

“Learning to build should not feel inaccessible from the start,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “The goal is to make the first step easier to take. When concepts are explained in a way that feels familiar, more people are willing to try—and that’s the aim with Code Like a Cook. We want to help beginners move from learning to creating.”

From fundamentals to hands-on building

The book guides readers through a structured progression, beginning with foundational topics such as Web3 concepts and programming languages, before moving into practical development exercises.

Key chapters cover:

  • Introduction to Web3
  • Programming languages used in blockchain development
  • Solidity and smart contract basics
  • Essential Web3 tools and platforms

A central hands-on module walks learners through building a simple Tip Jar decentralized application, where they:

  • Write a smart contract
  • Deploy it using Remix IDE
  • Connect a MetaMask wallet
  • Test the application on a blockchain testnet

Empowering the next generation of builders

The launch reflects Bitget’s broader strategy to empower young people not only to understand blockchain technology but also to actively participate in shaping its future. By lowering entry barriers, the initiative aims to transform curiosity into experimentation and learning into creation.

It also reinforces Bitget’s view that access to knowledge should translate into confidence to build, especially as blockchain adoption continues to expand globally.

Rollout in the Philippines first

Initial distribution of Programming4Youth: Code Like a Cook will begin in the Philippines, with a broader global rollout planned in the following phases.
