Since the past few years, I have always been wanting to learn coding, as I find the idea of designing or creating one’s own apps or games very fascinating. HT Codeathon collaborated with my school and came up with the coding championship. At first I thought, it would be difficult, but after few lessons I found it to be quite fun and easy. I believe that for a beginner, this is the best way to learn coding. The teaching method and course structure is user-friendly. They also have online support.

This is a great course and I love its structure. It is engaging and gives us enough guidance to start HTML coding before moving on to JavaScript. I appreciate the precise and short videos because overly long videos tend to make us lose focus. It definitely adds value for beginners like us.

Being an IT professional, I believe that tomorrow everything will be controlled by Artificial Intelligence. I understand that the basics for all of these will be coding and what better than learning it in a fun way. As parents, we are happy that HT Codeathon and the school came up with this excellent initiative, which has a well-researched course structure, video-based explanation, quizzes in between every lesson, project submissions and online support as well. We believe that coding will help our child develop her logical thinking.
