Since September of this year, two software
professionals (volunteers) have been training
300 students of grades 9-12 in two groups
thrice a week in website development. Students
in Group 1 login to watch pre-recorded videos
and self-learn akin to the Coursera website,
while Group 2 students attend live online classes.
After learning HTML and CSS – level 1, they
will create a website by themselves, thereby
gaining hands-on experience. They’ll then learn
Java, Python, and Angular, which will give
them an edge at college and even enable them
to freelance while pursuing undergraduate studies.
Kishore, a grade12 student of Isha Vidhya
Cuddalore, aspires to work as a software engineer
at Google and says the sessions are greatly
helping him develop and improve his coding skills.
