Technology is acquiring an inevitable space in the lives of the people, therefore, it becomes essential for educators and policymakers to think beyond the puritanical standards of teaching in educational institutions, especially schools. The Delhi government is working to empower and create a 21st-century mindset amongst young school children, creating equal opportunities for all. In an effort to restructure the teaching learning process, the Delhi government has decided to invest in STEM initiatives for the students in its schools. The main focus behind these initiatives is to invest in an environment, which supports science and technology learning for the students. Through coding, students can learn and create games and applications for multiple platforms like Android, Windows, and iOS.
Teaching coding to students during their early schooling years is the key to building their analytical skills and choosing a desirable career path for them. Because coding is both easy and fun to learn, it can provide students with endless career opportunities in the future. Developing a coding skill is also vital to developing an entrepreneurial mindset in the students. Coding can also equip students with an entrepreneurial mindset, where students can also move towards creating jobs rather than looking for jobs post their higher education. Enhancing the tech skills of the students will be a major step in increasing the economic opportunities for the youth.
