Hi everyone, in my second summer of the program, I was able to conduct a practical continuation of my study on the impact of coding and technology on the educational and further aspirations of students from different backgrounds in Western India.

Through my second summer, I was able to contact 4 schools from different sections of Rural and Urban India which had differing levels of access and exposure to coding to participate in a simple coding challenge. The aim of this challenge was to bring students and teachers together from different sections of India and have them collaborate to submit a game as part of a competition. Despite COVID enforced limitations, the week-long competition and subsequent work with each of the schools allowed me to continue my analysis of the impact of coding and ICT on school students and the importance of it being furthered in Indian school curriculum. Additionally, I was able to work with the Raspberry Pi Foundation and have created a system for the challenge to continue annually and made collaboration over coding in schools across India possible.
