Key questions:
- What learning material to use and how to source?
- What programming language to start with?
- What software to introduce them to?
- What games to introduce them to?
Key constraints:
- The kids don't know much English and speak a local language called Odiya. There aren't any technical publications/resources in Odiya.
- Poor internet connectivity.
- No computer experts on the school staff.
Any other advice/help would also be appreciated. A link to the full blog post: https://sunayanachatrapathy.wo...
