BINARY STORY

THE PROBLEM 

Technology plays an active role in our lives yet the approach to learning computers or any form of technology has all along been passive and fragmented in low-income schools. Additionally, the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005, describes…algorithms, general problem-solving strategies, iterative processes, and role of computing in modern society should be included in the school curriculum. 
This lack of access and awareness to computer education as a tool that focuses on developing cognition and computational thinking is a gap that we are addressing with our program Binary Story. 

OUR SOLUTION 

  • Develop computational thinking and problem-solving capacities in children

  • Introduce programming and physical computing in under-resourced schools as a required addition to computer subject

  • Equip children and schools with affordable computer systems to enable tinkering and experimentation

OUR IMPLEMETATION MODEL 


Gyanada Labs

Many ‘learn to code’ programs in India currently focus on working with a population that has upgraded the computer system. Gyanada Labs focuses on upgrading the existing infrastructure and creating affordable spaces to tinker, experiment and explore in under-resourced schools, non-profits, and local communities.


Our Fellowship Model

Our delivery model works on strengthening young engineering students and professionals by exposing them to real-time classroom experience where they get the opportunity to apply their learnings and leadership skills with children who have minimum exposure to tech education. While we have a curriculum framework, we give them the freedom to bring day-to-day level innovations into the classroom that engages children with technology in real-time and make a difference in their communities.  Click here to know more.



Our Curriculum

Many curriculums are borrowed curriculums that are not contextualized to children who have zero possessing knowledge and access to computers in India. We cater to such children from the age group of 12-15 years by creating content that is offline and relevant to their learning levels.


Our Assessments

To map the impact of a program assessment plays a vital role. Internationally, not many organizations have an assessment model that consistently maps the learning trajectory of a child. We have created an assessment framework that continuously maps the progress of the child through a structured model that includes plugged, unplugged activities, challenges, and assessments at three levels.
