Dr. Mitra set out to use computers to teach kids in the places teachers are needed the most.
He created these ‘Hole in the Wall’ experiments.
12-year-old Tamil speaking children, in a south Indian village, were able to teach themselves biotechnology. The children spoke Tamil but the computer spoke in
English.
In 9 months, they were scoring on the same level as the students at the posh schools of New Delhi. The students of New Delhi even had teachers who were well trained in biotechnology.

Experts and students need architects to design creative spaces for learning and encouragement.
In a Transmedia Generation, education must shift from a one-to-many broadcasting of information.
