Mr Ravi Suppiah, Lecturer, School of Computing in NUS, conducted the inaugural Kuriyeedu, Vilaiyaadu workshop together with NTU Tamil students as facilitators. The details of the project are as follows:

Sembian Somasundaram, an Aerospace Engineering graduate from NTU and former President of NTU Tamil Literary Society (NTU TLS) 2016 was the recipient of 2017's Community Awards given out by Tamil Seithi & Current Affairs. As the awards’ recipient he collaborated with Tamil Language Learning & promotion Committee (TLLPC) and Mediacorp’s Tamil News and Current Affairs to organize a workshop to promote Tamil Language, which eventually came to be known as Kuriyeedu, Vilaiyaadu.
​
Title: குறியீடு, விளையாடு (Code & Play), a computing workshop for Tamil students

Why?

1. The ever-evolving world is currently moving into the direction of Artificial Intelligence (AI). A strong foundation in Computing is required to appreciate the changes in Technology and what it has to offer.
2. ‘குறியீடு, விளையாடு’ will allow students to subconsciously understand that Tamil and technology can be amalgamated to create an innovative way of learning the language from young.
3. The youth of today are naturally attracted to technology. Our language too, has to be technologically friendly to ensure its survival and relevance.
