CHALLENGE:
When approached to introduce the computer curriculum for students, the school desired to implement Computer Masti as an extra co-curricular activity in their club LEC (Life enrichment Centre), after the school timings. As the school introduces Computer as a subject from Year V, they were inclined to provide the basic knowledge and learning to their primary school students through an activity after school hours. Moreover, holding up a computer teacher and school’s system administrator after school timings was also difficult.
SOLUTION PROVIDED:
InopenTechnologies tailored Computer Masti curriculum as an extra co-curricular activity and provided classes after school hours. The school provided their computer labs to conduct classes. Inopen deployed Computer Masti Instructor and a System Administrator to make Computer learning effective. Computer Masti has focused and implemented the Motto of the school which encourages the students to work on their own and understand the aspects of computer by exporing all possible ways to use them effectively.
