MASOOM
Masoom is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to establishing and supporting quality education in Night Schools. Masoom’s mission is to enable Night Schools’ students achieve their full potential through educational and policy support, leading to better skills and job opportunities.
PROJECT SUMMARY
Masoom, in partnership with Level Up Village (LUV), launched the Tech-Wheels Project to help students to explore their passion for science and technology. The project helped students to gain increased self-confidence, have access to computer technology, and sharpen their design-thinking skills besides the development of new attitudes towards modern-day technology. Tech-Wheels will allow Masoom and LUV to extend these and other benefits to thousands of night school students in Mumbai.
TECH ON WHEELS BUS - The Tech-Wheels Bus is enabling Masoom and LUV to offer LUV courses to a much larger number of students. The Tech On Wheels Bus is also providing Night Schools’ students with access to computers, online resources, and innovative educational programming which will open the door to a bright future. Besides all of this, Tech On Wheels Bus acts as a unique platform for learning as well. The bus is not only providing access to computers, but it also allows students to enter a larger world of reference material and self-study, particularly when it comes to science and technology.
Bus is helping to develop computer literacy and 21st century skills in the students which are a must for a promising career. Students are more equipped to seek higher education as well. Tech-Wheels bus provides computer access to up to 25 students per class and 125 students per week. Masoom, which already provides educational support to over 3500 students in Mumbai, is now be able to serve many more students per year with the Tech On Wheels Project. These students would otherwise receive no computer training.
