Singla speaks to EducationWorld about how Coding Ninjas has ensured the continuity of learning amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. Excerpts from the interview:
Amid the Covid-19 crisis, how has Coding Ninjas used its online platform to help children continue learning?
Due to the corona uncertainty, we have introduced a 60 days Course Pause feature for our students. Through this, they can pause and extend their course for up to 60 days and easily continue with their college and semester exams, even if the college reopens in between the course.
We have been organising insightful webinars every week for students on various programing topics, placement and career opportunities with our in-house and guest faculty, offering relevant industry exposure to the students and help them clear their doubts.
We have also been hosting short-form and long-form online coding events for our students to practice their skills with dynamic problems to utilise their time efficiently. One such event is our Ninja Prep Test Series to prepare our students for the technical interview rounds in Product-Based and Service-Based companies.
You can find the webinar on Dynamic Programming here.
