The biggest question: Why don’t we see a LOT of students getting into the field of technology at an early age, like they do in other hobbies, like sports and arts?

I’d like to answer this question by taking your attention to the 4 biggest problems we are facing today

4 Problems: 1. Rigid Education System- too much focus on marks/grades, which sometimes demotivates students. Students relate success or failure in life directly to their grades. This prevents their minds to focus on other areas- like technology. 2. Lack of Good teachers- who can teach real life technology. We are not talking about the traditional c++, HTML, CSS etc taught in schools. With the emergence of startups, the world of technology is changing dynamically, with new and faster technologies coming every year. While the syllabus followed by schools when it comes to IT/Computers remains same every year. 3. Lack of mentors/proper grooming & Technology environment- to cultivate the students and help them grow. How to design the app which sells? What do users want? How to solve real life problems? Turning the idea of an app or website into a company? And 100 s of more questions, which cannot be answered by our traditional education system. 4. Lack of Motivation among students- waste of time on apps like Facebook/Whatsapp, distractions! Most students themselves aren’t motivated to think outside of the box.

Solving all these 4 problems, we came up with the
