Become an IMAD student ambassador

Hasura​, in partnership with IIT Madras, is offering IMAD from ​Feb 5, 2018​.
Introduction to Modern Application Development (​IMAD​) was offered thrice before and with
more than 210,000 student registrations, it is India’s largest MOOC. All course details can be
found at​ ​http://imad.tech​. Over the past three iterations, IMAD has inspired people from all
walks of life (teachers, retired/working professionals, students, stay-at-home mothers) to get
comfortable with technology. Student stories can be found​ ​here​.

We believe that access to technology and technical education can go a long way in empowering
people and communities by helping them solve local problems. In order to be successful, we
need to build a strong community around the course which will help us reach more people, help
students or entrepreneurs who are building solutions and provide support when needed.
Therefore, we are looking for enthusiastic student volunteers who will help us grow the IMAD
community, and help us reach more students for the upcoming course.
