Global Universal Exchange (UEX) Bitget has introduced a new educational initiative aimed at making blockchain development more accessible to beginners, unveiling a book titled “Programming4Youth: Code Like a Cook.”
The learning resource reframes complex Web3 and programming concepts through everyday kitchen analogies, offering young learners a more intuitive entry point into decentralized application development.
The initiative is part of Bitget’s broader Blockchain4Youth and Blockchain4Her programs, developed in collaboration with GANAP with Eli, as global interest in blockchain technology continues to rise alongside demand for accessible education tools.
Rather than relying on traditional technical-heavy instruction, the book translates core programming ideas into familiar real-world concepts. In its framework, ingredients represent pieces of code, recipes mirror algorithms and logic, and cooking tools correspond to development platforms such as Remix and MetaMask.
The act of cooking symbolizes running code, while plating reflects deploying and sharing applications.
Lowering barriers to the Web3 learning journey
By simplifying abstraction through analogy, Code Like a Cook aims to lower the barrier to entry for first-time learners who may have little to no coding background.

“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.”
The book guides readers through a structured progression, beginning with foundational concepts such as Web3 and programming languages before advancing into practical application. Topics include Solidity basics, smart contract development, and Web3 tooling.
A key hands-on component introduces learners to building a simple “Tip Jar” decentralized application. Readers are guided through writing a smart contract, deploying it using Remix IDE, connecting a MetaMask wallet, and testing the application on a blockchain testnet.

Industry observers note that initiatives like this reflect a growing shift in blockchain education — from theory-heavy learning to experience-driven, application-based understanding.
Bitget said the launch underscores its broader strategy to empower the next generation of builders by reducing entry barriers and encouraging experimentation.
The company further emphasized that education should not only build awareness of blockchain but also enable active participation in its development.
Initial distribution of Programming4Youth: Code Like a Cook will begin in the Philippines, with plans for a wider global rollout in the coming months.
The move adds to Bitget’s expanding education footprint, reinforcing its positioning as not just a trading platform, but a contributor to blockchain literacy and adoption worldwide.
