In Kerala children to get training in App development

During the upcoming Christmas vacations, about 30,000 school children in Kerala will get training in designing and building mobile apps. The arrangements for the same have been completed by the state-run Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE), formerly known as IT@School. The training will be provided to the children who are members of 'Kuttikootam', the IT network of students.KITE sources said "This would be a continuation training in batches for all of the 'Kuttikootam' members who were trained through the e@Utsav Camp last September". K Anvar Sadath, Vice Chairman and Executive Director, said "The ambitious 'Hi-School Kuttikootam' program, launched by KITE comprising over one lakh students of standard eight, nine and tenth classes, is considered to be the largest student IT Network in the country. Under the initiative, students are being extensively trained in five different domains viz Animation, Hardware, Cyber Safety, Electronics and Malayalam Computing." KITE sources said that one day training camp will be held for the students in different batches during December 27-30 and for training purposes App inventor app will be used. App inventor is a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) application which helps in developing the mobile app through drag and drop method. Thorough the app, students can develop their own apps easily and by avoiding the hitches of writing an actual code.Sadath said "the famed MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) of USA is presently supporting the App Inventor application. Training venues have been set up in all educational districts, along with the necessary arrangements"."As part of this training, all Kuttikootam members would also be empowered to operate and take care of the Hi-Tech facilities made available in the classrooms," the official added.
