Project Know
|
|
|
|
To supplement computer education, the Foundation also launched a mobile computer
lab to cover schools in remote areas.
|
|
|
|
Known as 'Knowledge on Wheels' (KNOW), this involves an
air-conditioned, 32-seater bus converted into a computer classroom. The bus is self-sufficient
with 8 PIV Computers, UPS and a generator for its own electricity.
|
|
|
|
The mobile computer lab parks in a school for 20 days and imparts 20 hours of computer
training to a batch of 40 students. During the last 2 years, it has covered 20 schools
and trained 1000 students. KNOW is also used for conducting Internet training to
graduates and teachers.

NMMC Teacher's Training Program
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our volunteers regularly give teachers of NMMC Schools computer training. This makes
them confident to train students independently.
|
|
|
|
This is a 12-day program and we hope to cover all teachers of NMMC Schools within
the next 2 years.
