New Delhi, 6th September, 2021: Eupheus Learning, India’s leading ed-tech company, is inviting students from class I to XII for a National Coding Competition “Code2Win,” being held in partnership with RoboGarden Inc., a Canadian ed-tech company. Code2Win begins from 1st Sep, 2021 and concludes on 20th November 2021.
One of the significant reforms through the Ministry of Education’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is the introduction of coding classes for students from class 6 onwards. This kind of exposure at such young age will help students to understand technology from a different perspective. And this competition is aligned with this mandate to break through traditional methodologies and practices to provide more holistic learning for school going students across the country.
