Leo Club of University of Moratuwa launched an impactful
project "Codextalgia," which is aimed at improving the coding skills
of A-level grade 12 students. This project was mainly planned and executed in
four schools: Piliyandala Central College, Prince of Wales College - Moratuwa,
Mahinda Rajapaksha College - Matara and St. Thomas College - Matara.
The primary focus of Codextalgia was to introduce students to
the basics of Python programming and underscore its significance after
A-levels. Python, known for its simplicity and versatility is a valuable skill
in today's digital age. It provides various career opportunities in data
science, artificial intelligence and software development.
The success of Codextalgia can be attributed to its phased
approach. The interactive nature of the sessions kept the students engaged and
motivated throughout the program. Overall, Codextalgia not only equipped
students with practical coding skills but also instilled in them a passion for
learning and exploring the world of programming. As these students progress in
their academic and professional journeys, the knowledge and experience gained from
Codextalgia will be a solid foundation for their future careers.
