A 10-Year-Old Built His Own Browser in Python

In Rostock, Germany, a 10-year-old boy named Oskar is building his own web browser in Python. Not a simplified school project — a real browser with history tracking, navigation functionality, and core features. He is part of MikroMINT e.V., a nonprofit workshop where children get access to lab equipment, 3D printers, and mentorship from working engineers and cybersecurity experts.

While other children his age are still learning how to browse the internet safely, Oskar is learning how browsers are actually built — networking protocols, data storage structures, and user interface logic. The goal of the program is not to create child prodigies. It is to show young minds how things work and give them the tools to build things themselves.

What Oskar’s Story Reveals About Skill Development

Oskar’s achievement is not about genius — it is about environment and access. MikroMINT e.V. provides three things that many engineering students in India do not have access to:

• 1
  Real tools and equipment — Not just textbooks, but actual lab equipment, microcontrollers, and industry-grade software that professionals use every day.
• 2
  Mentorship from practitioners — Engineers and cybersecurity experts who work in the field, not teachers who left the industry years ago.
• 3
  Freedom to build — Permission to experiment, fail, and try again until something works. This is how real learning happens.

These are exactly the gaps that PrudentCAMPUS NextGen IT Learning addresses for engineering students in Aurangabad and across the Marathwada region.

About PrudentCAMPUS NextGen IT Learning

Based in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), PrudentCAMPUS focuses on making engineering students industry-ready for IT careers. We work with diploma and BE students from electrical, electronics, ENTC, and IT backgrounds — students who have the intelligence but lack the practical exposure that companies demand during campus placements.

Like MikroMINT e.V. in Germany, we provide students with:

What Building a Browser in Python Actually Teaches

When Oskar builds his browser, he is learning skills that map directly to what IT companies look for in freshers. Here is what goes into building a simple browser:

Building one real project teaches more than completing 100 textbook exercises. This is exactly how PrudentCAMPUS trains students — by building, not just memorizing.

What Students Build at PrudentCAMPUS

Our students do not just learn syntax. They build real projects that become part of their portfolio. Current student projects include:

These are not academic projects. They are portfolio pieces that demonstrate to recruiters exactly what a student can do.

IT Jobs for Engineering Freshers

The skills Oskar is developing at age 10 are the same skills that IT recruiters look for in freshers during campus placements. Here is the direct mapping:

For Electrical, Electronics, ENTC, and IT Students

Many engineering students from core branches assume IT careers are not for them. This is not true. Companies today need engineers who understand both hardware and software. ENTC and Electrical students who learn Python have an advantage — they can work on IoT, automation, and embedded systems that pure CS students cannot.

Oskar is 10 years old and from a non-English speaking country. If he can learn Python and build a browser, engineering students in Aurangabad can certainly build their own projects and careers.

The Career Path for Students Who Build

For College TPOs: Building Industry-Ready Talent

For Parents: Securing Your Child’s Future

The world is changing. AI can now write code, automate tasks, and analyze data. This creates a natural concern about job security. The answer lies in what your child can build. AI is a tool. The people who build, control, and direct AI will always be in demand.

Oskar is not learning to be replaced by AI. He is learning to be the person who creates the next generation of tools. At PrudentCAMPUS, we ensure your child becomes a creator, not just a consumer of technology.
