Plugged In
Teaching Digital Literacy for the 21st century
Brief History
Plugged In started in 2010, by a group of students studying at the American School of Bombay (ASB), who were keen to spread the understanding and use of technology to those who could not learn digital literacy.
Eventually three committees were established: Curriclum Development, Fundraising, and Expansion. All of these committees are explained throughout the site

Today teaching in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo has commenced. At the moment there are two batches with a total of twenty students attending classes. We are working closely with a company called Solutions 4 Africa who are allowing us to use their office. Along with that, Vinmart Foundations has donated two CPU's and one laptop to teach with. At the moment this is a summer workshop. We will start teaching at two schools in September.

In Vadodara, we have finalized the school we will be working with, the name of it being Daffodils English Medium School. We expect to be teaching approximately 30 students from 9th grade and around another 30 from 10th grade. As with our other schools we will start off with preliminary skill testing and getting to know the kids. We will move on to basics and then into advanced lessons which will be tailored according to the students' needs.
