A Learning Lab of Fun!By Ethan Reed

Welcome to the Pratham Learning Lab in Kamgar Nagar, Mumbai!

Today we’re going to pay a visit to the students and teachers inside and see what they’re up to. In the main room, there is a class going on.

This is a class for boys in the 10^th standard. They are listening to their teacher. When the teacher is done with her lesson, the boys take to their books.

Meanwhile in the Computer Room to our right, some Pratham students are learning about basic computer programs.

Let’s meet a couple of the students!
