Kids, Coding & Robotics: The Workshop

Dialog Axiata PLC, Sri Lanka’s premier connectivity provider hosted a coding and robotics workshop for the children of Dialog Club Vision members at the Dialog Head Office Auditorium. The event drew close to fifty children between the ages of 7-12, who experienced the thrill of developing games with simulations to learn coding and robotics skills. The young aspiring coders were divided into eleven teams with an opportunity to code a Star Wars game, and winning teams were later rewarded with Dialog Virtual Reality (VR) sets. Furthering their digital native skills, the teams were also exposed to programming robots.

The event was an exciting opportunity for children to learn coding skills in a hands-on environment that let them experience the thrill of creating their own games. The VR sets that the winners received further encouraged them to continue coding by acting as tangible proof of the rewards that await skilled software smiths.
