KidsTech host Power BI competition, encourage children to learn new technologies Tuesday, December 22, 2020 Rizwan Mohammad
KidsTech Charitable Trust, a non-profit organisation training children learn new technologies hosted its end of the year competition earlier last week at Balmoral Community Hall in Auckland.
KidsTech was founded by Indira Bhandari, a Business Intelligence Consultant and Microsoft MVP who has been running free classes on learning the latest technologies for children since 2016.
KidsTech hosts free training classes, Information seminars, and conduct competitions for children so that they can become early adopters of the latest technologies.
In the last five years, KidsTech has conducted over 60 events helping children to get trained and participate in various events and competitions.
Children start classes from 3 years old and the older children took exams. The society was started in 2008, with four families, and language classes started in 2009, with eight children. There were now 800 people and 170 families of Bhutanese origin living in Manawatū, with almost 50 children in classes. “The number of people is increasing in the community and more people are born here.” Treasurer Chuda Ghimirey said children had a hard time maintaining their language, especially the ones born in New Zealand. They picked up English quickly at school, using it with friends and with modern technology. This made classes all the more important.
