WhiteHat Jr, a leading EdTech company known for delivering live online classes in coding & maths, has collaborated with ace cricketer Kapil Dev to make learning fun and engaging. The association leverages a Cricket-based project to inspire students to create interesting applications. The project known as Kapil’s Swing Bowling XI will be interwoven in the WhiteHat Jr curriculum to encourage students to create a mobile app that stimulates bowling on a cricket pitch by applying expert inputs in the form of bowling tips provided by the legendary cricketer.

Children can access this special project after completing eight classes on the platform. Students will get exclusive access to a creative library of Kapil Dev’s images & videos, where he will be sharing his expertise as a bowler, in the form of tips. This one-of-a-kind project will connect children to their passion for cricket and help them apply concepts learnt in the course to a real-life situation. They can further extend and personalise their application as they choose. The project has been customised for students across levels — from beginner to intermediate to advanced to pro — with the level of complexity increasing with functions built into the simulator.  The company hopes to inspire thousands of students to create their own unique applications.

“For children to become creators, we need to make learning fun, engaging and application-oriented, ” said Balaji Ramanujam, Chief Learning Officer, WhiteHat Jr. “We believe this project will pave the way for many such integrations across different  interest areas that children have.”
