Good morning! People say that these days, young people are becoming smarter, and it's true. But here is another miracle - a nine-year-old computer programmer. For me, while we have fun, play games, and sometimes cry for something we want from our mom, these young individuals are learning programming and becoming computer programmers at the age of nine. The next question is, what made him become a computer programmer? Let's explore that.
Who is Kautilya Katariya?
Kautilya Katariya is a child genius and the world's youngest coder. He attends Wootton Park School in Northampton, UK, and recently achieved the highest grade in the GCSE math exam, studying alongside older students.
His coding journey began at the age of 5 when his father introduced him to a coding book. At just 6, he became the youngest computer programmer in the world, creating a search engine, chatbot, and earning IBM's artificial intelligence accreditation. Kautilya founded TheDecipher at the age of 9 to connect young minds in computing and math.
Here is the story of his learning journey:
1.Self-Teaching: Kautilya initially learned coding through self-teaching. His interest was started when his father introduced him to a coding book at the age of 5. He finished the book in a single day. How quickly does he learn?
2.Online Resources: Given the digital age we live in, it's highly likely that Kautilya used online resources and tutorials to further his coding skills. There are numerous coding websites, courses, and platforms specifically designed for beginners. You can check it all for free.
3.Practice and Dedication: His dedication to coding and his ability to practice consistently played a significant role in his learning journey. Consistent practice is crucial to mastering coding. Practice Make Perfect !!
Here is how he made it happen. You can do it too; it's never too late to start learning technology, and it's never too early either. If you are passionate about it, just go for it now.
Additionally, we are excited to announce the upcoming launch of Code2, a subsidiary company of NEXCODE, aimed at providing exceptional education for young individuals studying technology. Stay tuned for further updates!
