CodeSpark
Yuvanis Foundation
Description
"CodeSpark: Ignite Your Tech Future" offers a variety of coding workshops that cover multiple themes, including virtual reality, retro gaming, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), and space-based team building activities. These workshops aim to introduce participants to the fundamentals of coding and technology, using practical and engaging approaches.
The event employs interactive and hands-on workshops as the primary method to teach coding. Participants will engage in collaborative projects that promote teamwork and practical application of learned skills. The resources used include computers, coding software, virtual reality equipment, retro gaming consoles, and various STEAM-related tools and materials. Experienced instructors and mentors will guide the participants through each session, ensuring a supportive and educational environment.
The primary goal of CodeSpark: Ignite Your Tech Future is to spark an interest in coding and STEM fields among young people, particularly those from underserved and underrepresented South Asian backgrounds living in areas of high deprivation. The event aims to inspire these young individuals to pursue coding and STEM-related careers by providing them with fun, interactive, and educational experiences.
The event targets young people aged 8-24 predominantly from South Asian backgrounds who reside in areas of high deprivation. This demographic is often underserved and underrepresented in STEM fields, and the event aims to bridge this gap by providing tailored educational opportunities.
CodeSpark: Ignite Your Tech Future is uniquely tailored for young people from South Asian backgrounds living in high deprivation areas, making it special by addressing the specific needs and challenges faced by this demographic. The combination of interactive and fun workshops with inspiring education ensures that the participants not only learn valuable skills but also feel motivated and encouraged to explore further opportunities in STEM fields. Additionally, the event builds on the success of a previous Girls STEM Play event, which demonstrated significant interest and positive outcomes for young girls from Black and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, paving the way for further similar initiatives.
For this event, we will work with Inclusive Bytes who will provide us with mentor developers as well as use of their tech-gears.
