From Rural Thailand to Coding Champions

November 29, 2024, Code School Finland

At the recent 30th National Skills Competition in Thailand, students from Dhammajarinee Witthaya School achieved something extraordinary—they won first prize in Python coding, outperforming every other school.

This prestigious competition administered by the Ministry of Labor of Thailand promotes and stimulates youths to be passionate about their careers, emphasizing the development of skills to meet international standards.

We are proud of how Kanyaporn Traivittaya and Ploypannana Chomchoey showed their skills and creativity in this competition. Equally inspiring is the work of their teacher, Natcha Robkob, who coached her students to this remarkable success. We at Code School Finland had the privilege of supporting this journey through our teacher training programs, which equip educators with the tools, confidence, and innovative teaching methods needed to bring out the best in their students.
