Innovative STEM tablets educate children in rural India

For the first time in the tribal villages of Mokhada, Israeli created ‘Einstein Tablets’ with innovative measurement censors have been used by Gabriel Project Mumbai team of educators to teach science, chemistry and physics in rural government boarding schools in India.

Over 2500 children aged 12-16 are part of GPM’s ‘SCI-MA’ program, spending the academic year with GPM’s creative science curriculum, performing advanced science experiments using the Einstein Tablets and 16 different internal and external measurement censors from Fourier Education. 

Big thanks to the Israel Consulate in Mumbai, Deputy Consul Dahlia Neumann and trainer Eyal at Fourier Education for donating the “built-in science lab” tablets and censors and for the trainings that took place at the Israel Consulate, Mumbai and via zoom in the rural villages of Mokhada. GPM is also grateful to the local educational authorities for adopting the GPM science and math programs in their schools.

“It is wonderful to see the intersection of corporations, local and foreign government bodies and GPM coming together to provide vital STEM education for children from marginalized tribal communities”, said Rohit Jadhav, SCI-MA Supervisor. “Science education is so very important for the future careers of the children and important for the sustainable growth of the communities.”

We hope to use more Einstein Tabs to advance science learning in underserved communities in India.
