        <p style="color:var(--muted);font-size:.92rem;line-height:1.8;margin-top:14px;">We teach students to code the way professionals do — with version control, real projects, peer review, and the soft skills that make a developer employable, not just technically capable.</p>

          <h3>A Problem Worth Solving</h3>
          <p>A group of students in Kampala realized that Ugandan learners were graduating without the practical skills employers wanted. Most coding courses taught theory — not GitHub, not deployment, not real collaboration. CODEON was the answer.</p>

        <button class="faq-q" onclick="toggleFaq(this)" aria-expanded="false">Who is CODEON designed for? <span class="faq-arrow">▾</span></button>
        <div class="faq-a" hidden>CODEON is built for secondary school and university students across Uganda and Africa who want to learn web development and programming in a practical, hands-on way. All levels welcome — beginners to advanced.</div>

        <button class="faq-q" onclick="toggleFaq(this)" aria-expanded="false">What makes CODEON different from other platforms? <span class="faq-arrow">▾</span></button>
        <div class="faq-a" hidden>Most coding platforms teach you to watch. CODEON teaches you to build. Students use real GitHub workflows, deploy live projects, compete in national hackathons, and earn verifiable certificates — all in a curriculum rooted in African context.</div>
      </div>
      <div class="faq-item">
        <button class="faq-q" onclick="toggleFaq(this)" aria-expanded="false">Is CODEON free? <span class="faq-arrow">▾</span></button>

        <div class="faq-a" hidden>No. CODEON is fully optimized for mobile devices. We know most African students learn primarily on smartphones, so the entire platform — including the code editor, chat, and challenges — works on your phone.</div>
      </div>
      <div class="faq-item">
        <button class="faq-q" onclick="toggleFaq(this)" aria-expanded="false">How do I get a verified certificate? <span class="faq-arrow">▾</span></button>
