India’s Kid Coders Lead in Online Education During Covid-19

While Zoom education becomes the norm during the coronavirus pandemic, online coding classes for elementary school students were taking off in India even before Covid-19 accelerated the shift to online learning and home schooling. Behind the boom is demand from parents who think knowledge of programming is as essential as writing and arithmetic, and who fret over keeping their homebound kids productive during the crisis.

„I want to become someone like Bill Gates,” says 8-year-old coder Hirranyaa Rajani.

India, which boasts the world’s largest pool of computer science grads and a large, low-cost English-speaking workforce, is uniquely positioned to build an industry out of one-on-one coding lessons.

Experts say coding taught right can help kids become creative and innovative.

“If coding is introduced as a way for children to express themselves creatively, then it’s valuable for everyone,” says Mitchel Resnick, director of the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab.
