Gurushala Coding Quest
Unlock your coding potential!
Concept Note
Background
The project aims to introduce students to foundational coding concepts through accessible,
AI-integrated platforms. The objective is to promote digital fluency, computational thinking, and
problem-solving skills among students using engaging, real-world applications. Through
expert-led live sessions, learners will explore AI tools and block-based coding platforms that help
them create interactive, technology-driven solutions. This initiative emphasises project-based
learning, fostering creativity and collaboration while making technology both understandable and
applicable.
Objectives
The Coding Quest program aims to introduce students to the foundational concepts of coding and
artificial intelligence through engaging, expert-led live sessions. It seeks to foster digital fluency,
logical reasoning, and computational thinking in an accessible and project-based learning
environment. The program encourages creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving by guiding
students to design real-life solutions using intuitive coding platforms. Additionally, Coding Quest
is designed to enhance students' self-confidence in using technology, while promoting responsible
digital citizenship and equipping them with essential 21st-century skills for academic and future
career growth.
