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.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
