We are excited to announce that we’ll soon be kicking off the Android Study Jam in our chapter. This is an event series for people who wish to be an Android Developer or for those with a desire to learn something new.

With Android Study Jams, you will have the opportunity to learn Kotlin, Kotlin being the most preferred language used to create Android applications.

There are 2 tracks to choose from based on whatever you’re comfortable with:

Track #1 : Starts from the very basic, for people who have no prior knowledge of programming. But we expect basic logical aptitude.

Track #2 : For students familiar with Object-Oriented Programming, GitHub dealings, and experience in using an IDE.

You may choose either or complete both the tracks and claim your badges and certificate of completion.
