The Amazon Future Engineer (AFE) program will also promote students’ interest in pursuing computer science in higher education and their career. The Union Tribal Affairs Minister, Arjun Munda, said, “The Future Engineer Programme will serve as a stepping stone in creating Computer awareness for the tribal students of EMRSs.”
The two-day training workshop (December 28, 29) across 54 EMRSs in six states will also provide necessary resources and support to teachers to enable them to create awareness among students about computer science and its scope in the future.
In the workshop, the students will be taught several computer science lessons- fundamentals of computer science, introduction to coding, logical sequencing, learning loops, block programming using open secure source platforms, class chat sessions to discuss tech space, and different tech initiatives, among others, reported NDTV Education.
The Ministry of Tribal Affairs is also planning to launch several initiatives in the field of education to promote tribal students across the country. Several residential schools will also open in remote areas of the country to educate rural youth.
