Student Technology Education Programme (STEP)

IIIT-Hyderabad conducted Student Technology Education Program (STEP), its school outreach programme for 7 – 10 grade students from 7 May – 1 June. The main objective of this programme was to equip young minds with fundamental computational skills that are increasingly pertinent in today’s world. Through this unique outreach programme, IIIT-Hyderabad aims to spread the concept of computational thinking to a larger community.   The curriculum was designed to enable young minds to build logical thinking, problem solving and analytical skills through theoretical as well as hands-on sessions. These programmes were based on the premise that whichever career the student chooses to pursue later in life, computational thinking will be an essential element. Major part of the sessions were conducted by IIIT-Hyderabad faculty and a few by visiting faculty. The success of this School Outreach Activity is visible as some of the former students have not only performed very well but some of them have qualified for the National Olympiads.
