Mapping the Global Kotlin Education Landscape

Kotlin is one of the most widely used languages in modern software development, but there is no structured, global picture of how it is actually being taught. Students graduate without knowing coroutines. Courses skip Jetpack Compose. Academic syllabi lag years behind what the industry expects. This project exists to measure that gap and help close it. I will collect and analyze data from 80+ university curricula across 6 regions, online course platforms including Udemy, Coursera, and JetBrains Academy, surveys of 150+ students, educators, and developers, and 500+ public GitHub repositories comparing educational and real-world Kotlin code. Using Python, SQL, and Tableau, I will identify where the gaps are largest, what is driving them, and what can be done about it. The deliverables are: a curated open dataset of Kotlin educational resources, an interactive dashboard for the community to explore trends by region and topic, and a comprehensive "Kotlin in Education" report with concrete recommendations for the Kotlin Foundation and educators worldwide.
