💻 Code for Youth Project
The Code for Youth Project by UDGI Foundation is a youth-focused initiative aimed at providing basic to intermediate coding skills to students from rural and semi-urban areas, aged between 12 to 24 years.
The project teaches students computer programming, logical thinking, app development, website creation, and algorithm design, helping them explore the world of technology and digital creation.
Through easy-to-understand methods, hands-on exercises, and bilingual content, we ensure even first-time learners can code with confidence and creativity.
The project is implemented in UDGI Pathshala Centers, partner schools, and community learning hubs.
Why Code for Youth
In today’s digital economy, coding is a fundamental skill that opens doors to education, innovation, and employment.
However, most rural youth are left behind due to lack of access, awareness, or guidance in the field of programming and software development.
They are unable to explore technology careers despite having the potential.
Code for Youth breaks this barrier by making coding simple, inclusive, and opportunity-oriented for rural students.
🔹 Main Focus Areas
Introduction to Programming – Start with Scratch, Blockly, and logic-based learning games.
Python & Web Development – Teach real-world coding languages for apps and websites.
Problem-Solving & Algorithms – Build thinking skills through puzzles and structured logic.
Project-Based Learning – Students create their own small apps, games, or websites.
Career Orientation & Internships – Guide youth towards tech careers, freelancing, and internships.
How Code for Youth Works
UDGI Foundation selects students from rural schools and communities and enrolls them in structured coding batches.
Classes are held weekly or bi-weekly in UDGI Pathshala Centers, using laptops, tablets, or computer labs.
Coding is taught through interactive tools, bilingual lessons (Hindi + English), and hands-on practice.
We also organize coding competitions, demo days, and exhibitions to motivate students to showcase their creations.
Selected students are provided with advanced mentorship, access to online courses, and tech internships to grow further.
