Hack to the Future: Odisha Edition 2024
In Odisha, Quest Alliance, in partnership with the Amazon Future Engineer program, has been working with government secondary schools to enable students to learn coding. In collaboration with the Mo School Abhiyan Parichalana Sangathan, Quest Alliance has contributed to the development of the Kaushali curriculum, which enables students to develop computational thinking skills.
During this five-day journey, students refined problem statements, brainstormed, worked on prototypes, and learned programming using various software. With each session, they navigated the intricacies of design thinking, software development, and the art of presentation. Through hands-on workshops and mentor-led guidance, they sharpened their skills, learned how to tackle obstacles, and pushed the boundaries of creativity to create impressive real-time problem-solving prototypes.
