Masa said: “We believe every student should have an opportunity to learn computer science. India is the first country outside Japan where we have a dedicated workforce. At EHTC 2018, we interacted with many university and college representatives to better understand the Indian technical education landscape. With our 3 month free trial offer, thousands of students will be able to explore the platform and learn new skills. University representatives were very keen to know more about the platform and how they can use Progate for modern education.” Tak Nishimura, Global Manager Progate said “We want to help students in schools and colleges to learn modern programming skills to get the 21st century jobs. Progate has everything for absolute beginners to take the first steps of coding.”

Interested institutions can reach out to Progate, which is Japan’s biggest online platform where students learn modern programming skills such as Python, Java, Ruby and many more. It is being used by over 380,000 students in 12 countries.
