CDG Group, Thailand’s leading integrated IT solutions provider launches www.codetheirdreams.com — coding learning website that gather useful coding instruction and learning tools for students, teachers, parents to study about coding and other computer science skills. By offering both online and offline games as well as various activity guides, everyone can use learning materials from the website. Activities are divided into following categories: “Let’s code” for students, “Let’s coach” for teachers and parents, “Let’s inspire” for volunteers and interested individuals, and “Workshop Training” for learners to code basic computer languages.
Apart from self-study, we also provide “Code Their Dreams Train the Trainer Workshop” — workshop that organized by CDG for volunteers. It is appropriately used to organize “Code Their Dreams” project in small group or within the community. This project will give the participants an inspiration and raise awareness among Thai young generation in coding as well as creating an innovation for future.
To elevate the ability of Thai kids in the future economy, coding has been introduced to youth and let them be familiar with as it certainly become an important skill in 21st Century. Coding or programming skills are becoming the most in-demand skill across industries. Nothing is possible without programming in current generation. From the fan to mobile, everything is built-in programmed. This fact is leading individuals to seek out new ways of learning to code.
Mr. Nart Liuchareon, Chief Executive Officer of CDG Group, said that CDG Group has continued to operate “CDG: Code Their Dreams” project since 2016. This project inspires youth to feel the importance and interest in computer programming knowledge as well as encourages teachers and parents to teach kids about coding and other computer science skills. Also, it is our initiative to show a strong intention in corporate social responsibility in giving a bright future to Thai youth through the knowledge and experience that has been sparked by the project.
“Software is becoming a critical layer of all our lives. It is the language of our world. In the future, not knowing the language of computers will be as challenging as being illiterate or innumerate. We, as the organization of information technology in Thailand, cannot be calm. We decided to present the CDG: Code Their Dreams project to encourage Thai children developing their potential for digital change. By first objective, we expect kids and teachers to realize how important the coding is, and to allow kids to practice their systematic thinking skills that is provide an opportunity for the children to obtain unique knowledge and skills for their development.”
