About:

Step into the vibrant realm of Maharashtra, where our initiative currently lights up the educational journey of 240+ middle school students in the rural landscapes of Pune and Mumbai. Coming from modest backgrounds, these resilient minds thrive in the nurturing environment of Government Schools. Their parents, often found in occupations like auto driving or domestic work, set the stage for a legacy of determination. Rooted in rural communities around Pune, these students may have limited exposure to technology, but within them lies immense problem-solving potential. As they navigate the nuances of middle school, our mission goes beyond traditional education. We aim to gift these young minds the power of collaborative problem-solving, enabling them to tinker and create with affordable artifacts and tackle real-world challenges using affordable yet powerful technology tools.
