CodersTrust Brings the Worldâs Largest Learning Event to Bangladesh from December 7
For the past two years, a worldwide event takes place in December in an effort to introduce millions of people to coding. This event is known as âTHE HOUR OF CODEâ and it has gained tremendous global popularity since its launch. Now CodersTrust will bring the Hour of Code in Bangladesh.
Even though itâs been running only for two years, the Hour of Code is now known as âthe largest learning event in historyâ. Given the critical role computer science has played in the last few decades, it's an initiative to encourage people to spend one hour learning the basics of computer programming. Hence from December 7 to 13th, people all around the world will be doing free and playful one hour tutorials to get introduced to the world of coding.
The movement has received enormous support from the worldâs most successful entrepreneurs, such as Bill Gates and Facebookâs Mark Zuckerberg, and prominent political figures such as President Obama and Bangladeshâs own Honorable ICT Minister, Mr. Palak.
With the exponential growth of the freelance market in the past decade, CodersTrustâs Co-founder Jan-Cayo Fiebig strongly believes that Bangladeshâs future lies in the quality of its freelancing talents. âWe at CodersTrust believe that every Bangladeshi regardless of age, gender or social background should have the opportunity to empower themselves through the online outsourcing market. Our IT Talents donât need a university degree or knowledge in programming, simply with passion and motivation they are able to learn and earn on the freelancing market in less than three months. 70% of CoderTrustâ students are earning and one of them just got a $10.000 project.â
Together with their trusted partners such as Microsoft, UNDP, Bank of Asia and BRAC, CodersTrustâs aims to change people's lives by providing the young talents of Bangladesh access to education and the online job market.
CodersTrust is calling out all the people of Bangladesh to join in this one hour free tutorial to show them a whole new world of possibilities.
