Avishkaar set to make coding accessible with its Coder’s Starter Kit

New Delhi, September 2, 2021: With schools shutting down indefinitely in March 2020, many families have been struggling to engage their children in the most meaningful manner and away from the screen. On the contrary, it is a fact that a lot of them have resorted to additional online scholastic and non-scholastic activities. 

As a result, coding has emerged as a new skill to learn among children in the past 18 months. However, they are growing up to be keyboard warriors who are learning to “write” code. Avishkaar has yet again proven that coding does not mean that you sit in front of the computer. It instead is a skill that can encourage young minds to build the impossible and to use #Tech4LargerGood. 

The Avishkaar Coder’s Starter Kit is a beginner’s kit that is ideal to help kickstart a child's journey in innovation with coding and hands-on skills, and building everyday, tangible objects that they can actually use. This includes a smart watch, a portable TV, an arcade game console, a study lamp and whatnot! The kit includes over 15 components that can be used to make 5 smart gadgets that can be used in real life! 

“It takes a lot of grit to build something from scratch. You fail multiple times - maybe because you used a different screw, or used the wrong motor or put a higher weight than the robot could bear. It is through the process of iteration that you can get anything to work, let alone a robot. With the Coders Starter Kit we want young and aspiring minds to develop a mindset that encourages them to build for their own environment. This allows them to have a 5-dimensional coding experience and humanize the very idea of coding. The continuous process of making and breaking things triggers an innovative mindset in children, in turn encouraging parents to constantly create those microenvironments,” Tarun Bhalla, CEO & Co-founder, Avishkaar said.
