Making coding accessible for the masses

“We are focused on making qualitative content and gamifying the whole platform, which keeps the students engaged and they learn more effectively,” Mridul says.

CuriousJr follows a three-step learning process: students learn with bite-sized content, code in the code arena, and publish their creations on the CuriousJr App Store. Get connected to CuriousJr.

The startup calls this an "impact-based learning system," which helps students learn and see the impact of learning to keep themselves motivated.

The platform also offers Block Coding, JavaScript, HTML, and computer fundamental courses, and soon will be adding other programming languages like CSS, Python, etc.

“Right now, the curriculum is essentially divided based on classes, but the team is working on making it personalised as per the students’ skill set,” Mridul says.

With 500,000 downloads, the platform caters to 165,000 students learning monthly on the app, who have created over 300,000 apps on the CuriousJr App Store so far.
