TOW - Tinker On Wheels
Where technology doesn’t reach our students in the classroom, we take the technology to the students.
Transforming every school’s outdoors into an AI STEM lab
The Ed-Tech Crisis
The future is here, but our schools are lagging behind. Students, especially those in rural areas, are missing out on cutting-edge technology like AI, ML, IoT, robotics, space tech, 3D Printing and more. There is a significant skill gap in the technology sector. According to a NASSCOM report, India will face a demand-supply gap of 1.5 million professionals in AI, ML, and IoT by 2025.
The Solution
TOW is an AI-powered mobile learning lab that brings the future of education directly to students. By providing hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies like AI, ML, IoT, robotics, 3D Printing and prototyping, we bridge the digital divide and empower students, especially those in underserved communities. Our program cultivates innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills, preparing students for success in the 21st century.
