KidCode: Empowering Rural Children in India
Donation protected
Sree Ramireddygari is a high school senior in Bethesda, Maryland. He is passionate about computer science and empowering the next generation of programmers. His plan is to facilitate a coding workshop for rural school children and visually impaired students at the JIVA campus in Hyderabad, India. The workshop will take place in August.
Computers are everywhere, changing every industry on the planet. But only 35% of all high schools teach computer science. Good news is, we’re on our way to change this! If you've heard about the Hour of Code before, you might know it made history. More than 100 million students have tried an Hour of Code.
With the Hour of Code, computer science has been on homepages of Google, MSN, Yahoo!, and Disney. Over 100 partners have joined together to support this movement. Every Apple Store in the world has hosted an Hour of Code, and leaders like President Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote their first lines of code as part of the campaign.
The children will be beginners who will get immersed into the world of coding through facilitated activities and online courses. The mission is to reach students in impoverished rural areas and expose them to the world of programming. We hope to inspire them to keep learning and become passionate about pursing a future in computer science. Our future depends on our ability to equip children with the life skills that they need to succeed. In this digital age, this includes the ability to code.
This fundraiser is meant to raise money for laptops that will be used by the children during the workshop and will also be available for use at the campus after it ends. We hope to donate as many laptops as we can.
Your support would mean everything to us and we hope that you will join us for this cause. Thank you so much.
