Coding and Experiential Learning startup, Tinker Coders has announced the launch of the ‘De the Future’ Campaign. The startup aims to offer free online courses on Coding, AI and Experiential Learning. It will focus on 10,000+ Private and Government schools in PAN India. The year-long initiative will begin soon to bring the digital revolution in line with NEP 2020. It also aims to bridge the competitive connectivity gap amongst the EWS school students.
The company has tied up with 200+ Private and Government schools. Out of this, 50,000 school students have already registered for the free online courses. Initially, the campaign has sown the seeds in the Indian states like Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Mizoram, Odisha, Manipur, Nagaland and Assam. It aims to target 1 Million+ school students and also expects to reach 10,000+ schools by 2021-2022.
Talking about the campaign, Anoop Gautam, CEO and Co-founder of Tinker Coders, said, “There has been a shift in the concept of literacy. It includes digital reading and learning of complicated technology. Tinker Coders is therefore proud to launch the De the Future Campaign, where the process of bringing about the digital revolution has begun.”
“We trust that the incorporation of technological expertise at the grassroots level would improve human talent. It will also supply the necessary early-age professionals. The modification of language gaps in the comprehension of technical programmes would also boost social and economic stability. The company stands together in the renaissance of the education sector. We believe that this initiative will allow India to become a data-smart country,” he concluded.
