Dhruv’s interest in coding and programming started at a very young age. This is in 2016 when coding was not in trend that much. Every time he played a game, he used to pose a thousand questions – ‘How is this made? How does it work? How do the characters move on their own?’

I started teaching him coding to satisfy his curiosity. At the tender age of 10, he managed to build a game himself through all these learnings.

He went on to deliver video tutorials on YouTube on topics of Website and Game Development or Cyber Security for kids at the age of 10. Dhruv updates and maintains the YouTube channel for the British Youth IT College as well.

This is how we started providing computer coding classes for kids, covering various programming languages. Kids absolutely love developing their logical programming skills through our courses.

Following suit, we introduced the Computer Games Development Summer Boot Camps for kids.

This also included a much interesting Robotics and build your own PC workshops.

Again we were the first Centre in Glasgow (in 2016) that successfully provides such a structured, regular and weekly computer coding and Robotics class for kids of different ages, dividing the courses from Beginner to Advanced levels.

Glasgow Harold published this at that time –

Dr Rashmi Mantri, founder of Glasgow’s British Youth IT College (BYITC) which offers after school classes in coding for 9-13-year-olds, is also blown away by the ability of many of the young people she works with. She was inspired to leave her job at the University of the West of Scotland to set up the college addressing the skills gap she saw in her son Dhruv Maheshwari’s education. Now the 12-year-old has built the company website and writes fluent code. The weekly classes and holiday clubs have been so popular that the school is launching an Edinburgh branch today. “Some of the kids are very advanced,” said Mantri. “They are making Java-based mobile apps and they are excited to be using a language used by “real” programmes. A lot of the children here have parents with an IT background who can see the importance of this for their children’s future. But for the kids it is just fun to code.”
