Agastya

Network of motorbike science labs to educate rural kids

Project:
Over 70% of India's children lack access to science and technology education, which is what fosters the problem-solving skills needed to succeed in today's economy.

With a Global Impact Award, Agastya will address the lack of science equipment and digital resources for rural children by launching a network of motorbike science labs that are staffed by trained teachers and equipped with cutting-edge technology. Agastya will also train local teachers on how to incorporate hands-on science into their classrooms. Over the next three years, Agastya will teach the power of science education to children and teachers at 1,620 rural schools.
