Thiruvananthapuram: Nearly 1.50 lakh students in Kerala
are set to be equipped with animation skills in December through a
state-run programme that has helped to break the barrier in IT
education in schools.
In May, the IT@School project had trained 1,586 selected students
in animation skills with the help of whom 12,535 others were
trained during Onam vacation in August.
A statement issued here Thursday said a minimum of 50 students
each from a school would attend the mass training programme in
December through IT Clubs in the institutions.
Project chief K. Anvar Sadath said the innovative training session
would take the students through a virtual tour on the animation
movie making process.
"We have already submitted the documents to Guinness World Records
for terming the training given to 12,535 students during the Onam
vacation as the world's largest in its kind," Sadath said.
