In this session, our expert panelists addressed similar negative connotations attached to children learning to code at a young age.
We get to understand it from the perspectives of a business owner, a government official, and a mom.
The panel discussed pros, cons, and more to enlighten Indian parents whether they are actually being “Pushy”.
Aspects our panel talked about –
- Is it too young for six-year olds to start to code?
- Can students handle one more class post school & tuitions?
- Why is GoI supporting the initiative for students to learn coding?
- Will it increase screen time for children?
And most importantly answered other questions you as parents had before asking your children to take a plunge into the world of coding.
