Imkaan Welfare Organization has collaborated with Coded Minds to implement 'The Digital Component' at Khel, a learning & recreational centre. Through Coded minds expertise, Imkaan is teaching the following courses to 100 children as a test run.
1) App Development Age 6 -13 years
2) Android App Development Age 13+
Facilitated by Coded minds, the course of App Development has already been implemented. With 49 children divided into 3 groups, the classes are conducted twice a week for one hour each. The initial classes are more focused on sharing knowledge about computer languages, the ease of using a tablet and creating an online account on Bitsbox.
With Bitsbox, students learn to program by creating fun apps that work on computers and gadgets like iPads and Android tablets. The Bitsbox website provides your students with a virtual tablet and a place to type their code. The experience starts with lots of guidance. It first shows learners exactly what to type, then quickly encourages them to modify and expand their apps by adding in new code.
We will continue to update our donors as the classes progress.
