Speaking about the Hackathon, Divya Lal said, “The ongoing pandemic has demonstrated the value of technology to our society in a far deeper way than ever before. At Fliplearn, we think it is more important than ever to foster a culture of technology-led innovation among our children. What can be more critical than the education domain for students to apply themselves and look for technology-led solutions to some of the most pressing problems and gap areas. One doesn’t need to be master’s in technology – skills like coding, designing, programming along with enthusiasms and energy and fresh perspective is all that is needed to win the competition”.
Registration for the competition is free.
Last date for submission of entries is 9 October 2020.
