Daily computer classes at ZPHS Nijalapur

Students from 6th to 10th class at Zilla Parishad High School, Nijalapur, Moosapet Mandal, had three computer periods every school day.

To make this possible we set up a basic computer lab in the school:

  • 6 computers (low configuration)
  • 1 projector
  • 20 chairs
  • Lab set-up and wiring

Chinni Labs: our first dedicated centre

The next step is a centre of our own in Moosapet, open after school. We are keeping what worked in 2025 and adding online safety, AI and coding. Children work in pairs, two to a computer, so they learn to explain what they are doing.
