Experience

Codeyoung

Co-Founder

Dec 2019 – Present · 6 yrs 3 mos · Bengaluru Area, India

We are on a mission to help children realize their full potential as we believe today's children are the innovators and leaders of tomorrow. We provide Live Online Sessions to School Kids by top mentors in Science & Technology. Our aim is to channelize and give purpose to the inquisitive and creative young minds by helping them discover and understand technology in the most organic manner while also being active contributors in developing technology than just being passive consumers
Our main focus is on developing the most hands-on curriculum with very distinct learning goals. Our sessions are very interactive and are student-centric, unlike the traditional teacher-centric models. Each module has a tangible project and the child is always actively “building” rather than passively learning.
