Our group “Apne Hath Se” of Media Lab Asia is working on educational methods well suited for
village environment. Commercialization and competitiveness are making middle-class children
go for rote learning without understanding. Worse, the poor kids, specially from villages,
drop out. We want to reverse the trend by inventing new experiment and activity based educational
techniques. Computer is a powerful medium for learning. We work with children, teachers,
and youth, and help them use computers as an educational tool. |
