Chennai and Bangalore based Coding and Robotics start-up, SP Robotic Works announces 50 scholarships worth INR 5 lakh under the banner #codelikeaqueen. It is aimed to bring out the innate qualities of a girl child to solve real-life problems through tech and push them in the fields of advanced technology like Coding, Robotics, Machine Learning, AI etc., at an early age.
The Scholarship will provide early exposure to the selected ‘coding queens’ and try to bridge the massive dearth of the skilled tech workforce in the tech industry. This scholarship will provide the selected 50 candidates with the right exposure to advanced technology at the right time, encouraging them to explore the fields of Coding, Robotics, Machine Learning, AI etc. as their career and fulfil the increasing demand gap of skilled workforce in the industry.
“Our mission with this scholarship is not to immediately make the selected coding queens ready for tech jobs but to bridge the increasing demand gap of the industry.
