Alongside, and due to, poor technological equipment, many students in India lack basic computer literacy skills and proper resources for learning to code and other general computer skills. Lots of students will also choose not to pursue higher education for many different reasons including financial reasons and family responsibilities.Â
In our education programs we aim to teach young kids basic coding and computer literacy in order to open them up to the wide world of computer science and prepare them for any roles technology might have in their careers in later life. We will tailor the sessions based on age groups and we aim to teach them basic coding with resources such as Scratch and we will teach them how to stay safe online. We also hope to run college and careers advice sessions in which we will show students the benefits of higher education and encourage them to think about their futures as young scholars.
