Delhi government introduces HT Codeathon for government school students

With the advancement of technology doing wonders across the world and in India, coding is not just any other subject, but also method of mental development. Students develop long computational thinking and algorithmic intelligence and are able to break down a problem in a structured form by using art, design, and other creative techniques through coding. In today’s time, coding is the most discussed and developing idea. In the view of teachers, experts, and parents, coding is important for children, preferably at an earlier age. Nowadays, most private schools have coding as a mandatory subject.

While government educational institutions across the country are working their way out to come at par with the private schools and institutions, the Delhi government has been proactive in revolutionising education in its schools. Keeping in mind the importance of coding and the ongoing focus on the subject, the Delhi government has introduced HT Codeathon for government school students.

Recently, the Delhi government has partnered with HT Codeathon, through which the government is targeting to teach coding to the students of the Delhi government schools.

Under the HT Codeathon programme, 13.461 students from about 1,000 Delhi government schools are being trained in coding and programming skills. 2,567 students have completed all five chapters till date.
