Co-founder and CEO of Codingal, Vivek Prakash, on the subject, expressed that their mission is to motivate school kids to fall in love with coding, and they are building the platform to fulfill this mission by providing high-quality computer science education together with world-class coding competitions.
The CEO added that with the Y combinator’s support, Codingal is looking to become a global online school in the K-12 segment.
Founded in September 2020 by IIT graduates Satyam Baranwal and Vivek Prakash, Codingal platform offers community-building activities to school kids with appealing coding competitions and hackathons that aid children in learning and showcasing their projects from the very start.
