EdTech Toppr launches Toppr Codr to teach coding to K-12 kids

EdTech Giant Toppr has announced the launch of Toppr Codr. It is a one-on-one live coding class for children aged between 6 and 18 years. It will teach young students how to create their apps, websites, games, and other interactive platforms using creative and playful experiences from their daily lives.

MIT and IIT Graduates have created the curriculum for Codr. It consists of on-demand and self-paced modules, adaptive paths. The classes will also be one-on-one and personalised consisting of output-based learning. Students can, also, opt for basic or advanced levels of coding, based on their preference.

Toppr on the topic

Zishaan Hayath, CEO of Toppr, said, "The 21st-century workforce will be way different from today. It will be centred around technologies that did not exist 20 years ago and technologies that are yet to be created. Coding will be pivotal to this revolutionary change. With Codr, we take the ethos of Toppr -- personalisation, great UX, deep content -- to create coding courses that are engaging, challenging and fun.

He further added that the company is actively creating content, selecting teachers as well as curating the project process. We are investing $6 Million into Toppr Codr for hiring, operations, technology and marketing.

Codr will, further, leverage advanced technologies ranging from block-based to actual text-based coding platforms. These include App Lab, Thunkable, Java, Arduino, and React Native along with Python for ML/AI etc. It is a valuable real-time extension beyond the regular school curriculum. Further, it helps to bring skills needed to excel in the fourth industrial revolution to the students of K-12 education.
