BEIJING, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Walnut Coding (the "Company"), a leading 
online coding education platform for young learners in China, has been selected 
by UNICEF as a featured case study under the framework _How Chinese Technology Companies
Apply Principles of Responsible Innovation for Children and Child Safety by Design.
_The case study was jointly developed by the China Federation of Internet Societies(
CFIS) and China University of Communication (CUC), with the support of UNICEF China.

Walnut Coding’s Walnut Programming 3D Graphical Editing Platform was cited in the
case as demonstrating child safety by design in action. According to the case, Walnut
Coding’s approach reflects the principles of designing for child safety in practice.

The platform includes public forums, direct messaging, leaderboards, competitions,
and a space for sharing coding projects. The study examines these features across
three dimensions of child wellbeing: Safety and Security, Diversity, Equity and 
Inclusion, and Competence.

Safety and Security: Walnut Coding conducts child rights risk assessments at every
stage of the product lifecycle. During development, it integrates automated content
moderation and privacy-by-design principles, with ongoing monitoring after launch.

The company also requires parental consent for child accounts, provides child-friendly
information on privacy and safety, and offers a complaints mechanism within the 
user interface. A child advisory board gives young users a direct voice in product
decisions.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: It has partnered to donate programming products
and support to schools in remote mountainous areas in Guangdong, Fujian, and Yunnan
provinces.

Competence: The platform uses a drag-and-drop interface with guided tutorials and
collaborative features. Together, these features are designed to build foundational
coding skills in children progressively.

Going ahead, Walnut Coding will continue to refine its platform’s safety design 
and educational capabilities, keeping children safe online while delivering better,
more affordable coding education, and enhancing the digital learning experience 
for children.
