\"#CodeAtHome<\/p>\n

New Delhi [India] November 9<\/strong>: <\/span>India is recognized as a global technology powerhouse, driving innovation and growth in the IT sector. As we envision the future, it becomes evident that diversity in technology is not just a matter of fairness; it is critical for economic success. Teams that represent a variety of backgrounds create more inclusive and impactful products, shaping a tech landscape that caters to a global user base. This belief underpins the mission of\u00a0E-mma\u2019<\/a>s #CodeAtHome program.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2021, #CodeAtHome by\u00a0E-mma\u00a0NGO is a global initiative aimed at promoting coding skills among children and teenagers, with a strong emphasis on diversity in tech. After successfully introducing coding to young minds in France, Europe, and India, we are now expanding our reach to empower the next million in India.<\/p>\n

During its initial phase, #CodeAtHome engaged over 90,000 participants across India, with an impressive 45% of them being girls. Our free coding workshops, led by\u00a0E-mma\u2019s dedicated IT coaches, ensured that children from all backgrounds had access to this critical learning opportunity. The success of this first edition reinforces our commitment to fostering inclusivity and breaking down barriers in the tech sector.<\/p>\n

With the\u00a0high\u00a0patronage\u00a0of\u00a0H.E\u00a0Thierry Mathou, Ambassador of France to India,\u00a0and the invaluable support of\u00a0BNP Paribas India,\u00a0Atal\u00a0Innovation Mission,\u00a0and\u00a0IFCCI, the #CodeAtHome initiative is set to make an even greater impact.<\/p>\n

The next phase of #CodeAtHome is poised to reach 1 million children and teenagers aged 8 to 18 over the next two years. This exciting expansion will officially launch on 12 November 2024, at 2:30 PM IST. The program will cover major cities including Chennai, Guwahati, Ajmer, Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Jaipur, Prayagraj, Patna, Bhubaneswar, Trivandrum, Dehradun, Bangalore, Bhopal, Noida, Pune, and Panchkula.<\/p>\n
