APJ Kalam visits Dell i-Mobile Lab launched in Andhra Pradesh

To champion the cause of ICT in education, former president of India, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam visited the Dell i-Mobile Lab at Agastya campus, Gudivanka in Andhra Pradesh today.

The Dell i-Mobile Lab is a specially designed van equipped with the latest in technology like laptops, projectors and internet connectivity. In partnership with Agastya International Foundation, the Dell i-Mobile Lab will provide school children across India, with an opportunity to enhance their knowledge of science and cement their IT skills.

As a part of Dell's Youth Learning initiative, Dell India in partnership with Agastya International Foundation has launched an i-Mobile Lab in Noida and Coimbatore also, to improve the creativity of school children in their science classroom.

The Dell i-Mobile Lab will use 17 different innovative sessions of ICT based learning through face-to-face classroom methods, enhanced student-teacher interaction models and computer mediated activities. Adding to the mobile hands-on learning sessions, the lab will also facilitate children-teach-children science fairs, to improve science learning outcomes.

Also contributing their time and effort are Dell volunteers, who are actively involved in providing technical and logistical support towards the success of this initiative.
