The course has been created by Indian instructors with visual explanations that deepen a child's intuition for the concepts. It delves into conceptual mastery, effective learning outcomes and is designed to make children curious to dig deeper, the company said.

Created according to the global Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) standards, the course is a unique blend of explanation videos and hands-on activities specially curated for active learning rather than passive viewing, it added. The company is committed to making students future-ready by teaching them essential learning skills across all core subjects by launching courses in coding, science, and math, Srinivas said. (IANS/SP)
