Coding and Project-based Learning After registering for the program, participants will be categorized into the following groups based on their age, location and skills: Scratch Track (8-10) The Scratch track is designed exclusively for beginners with the aim to make it possible for kids to learn the basics of programming and game development with the help of visual tools. The interactive course will engage the kids in building interactive stories, animations and games. The program won't just educate participants fundamentals of coding logic but also help them to develop problem-solving and presentation skills. Web Development Track (11-14) The Web Development Track is designed for kids who are passionate about going deep into coding and writing their own code for the web. Participants will discover the basics of web programming via HTML & CSS languages to be in a position to create their own digital content. Presentation and pitching skills It is extremely valuable for students to showcase presentation skills obtained during the 3-month program. Moreover, it is a chance to challenge and expand their understanding of the topic by having others ask questions to improve the status quo of their project. HACKATHON After the completion of the learning track, young kids will have the opportunity to participate in a Hackathon where they will be given a chance to compete with each other with their final projects and skills developed within the program.
