Our Mission:
Empower
Every child in India to be computer literate
About Us
We believe that ability is evenly distributed. Exposure and opportunity is not. Technology has the power to be the equalizer.
KidsWhoKode is a for-purpose organization that works with government and low-income schools to bring computer education to thousands of students across India.
Will you be a part of the movement to ensure that where our children start in life does not determine where they end?

Our Programs
“Computers and coding is the only language that you can use to express yourself to 7 billion people in the world”-Tim Cook
KidsWhoKode takes a 3 pillar approach to ensure every child develops a robust understanding of computers and is provided with a supportive ecosystem to pursue his or her technology learning goals.
BUILDING THE FOUNDATIONS:
KidsWhoKode builds capacity in teachers, schools, and education nonprofits. Through this program students learn: how computers are structured, the basics of computers for business, logical/computational thinking, and the foundations of coding.
The Building the Foundations content begins with students in grade 5. The content can be customized and supports a maximum of 5 years of curriculum.
RAPID TRANSFORMATION:
For students who are a part of the Building the Foundations program and who are interested in technology, KidsWhoKode offers an intensive coding bootcamp.
The KidsWhoKode bootcamp is taught by engineers from leading technology companies for 96-112 hours. Students build applications, websites, and mobile games using Python, Javascript, HTML, and CSS. They also experience how their classroom learnings are applied across industries through guest lectures and field trips.
CONTINUOUS LEARNING:
Whether a student is a part of KidsWhoKode’s Building the Foundations or Rapid Transformation program, they should have a pathway to continue learning.
The KidsWhoKode platform hosts it’s content and curates online content. In addition to incorporating features of a traditional learning management system, the platform has engagement aspects i.e. online challenges, and virtual hackathons. The aim is that students stay motivated and excited to practice computers and coding.
