Every Child Deserves Code and Bring Their Imagination to Life
summary
NDC’s Code Chautari brings computer access and teaching to Nepali public-school kids who otherwise never touch a PC, claiming to close part of the 81% public-school gap where only ~28% have ICT. Curriculum starts with computer literacy and Google Suite, moves to unplugged computational-thinking, then Scratch chatbot projects and basic text Python; cohorts: 16 graduates (2021), 15 (2022), ~40 current students in three groups (grades 6–11). Assessment is project-based (week-long, no exams) and a senior CS50x pilot plus fellowship for alumni to teach back.
