“I got to know many new things in five days. Learning to animate names, imagining out of the world stuff, making games, video sensing, creating a story by myself has grown my interest in the IT field. It was really fun in this workshop.”

“I took part in this 5 days virtual coding program which was really informative. I didn’t know about coding before but this program helped me to gather knowledge about algorithms, coding, and game development from scratch programming. I had so much fun and I even made games by myself.”

The mentors were always ready to guide us in any way possible. The program opened so many doors for me. I got an opportunity to widen my network.”
