GLOBAL 3000

Connected and Converted - how India's children are conquering the internet

Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift:

Sugata Mitra works for NIIT, an Indian company which develops educational software. The Delhi headquarters border on the Kalkaji slum. The two worlds are separated by a wall. Mitra came up with the idea of knocking out a hole in this wall, which marked the start of the project to provide children access to the digital world.

 

In this hole they installed a computer terminal with an internet connection. It quickly became apparent that children with no computer experience and despite the absence of instruction learned very quickly to surf the internet. Hole in the Wall is now a global initiative.
