For schools · the third room

No lab required.

Think Inside the Box, in the classroom you already have. A year-long programme inside your existing timetable, led by your teachers. It reaches every child in the grade, not only the club.

What we've noticed

Waiting on a lab? Technology education does not have to wait.

Whatever lab you have, the work that happens inside it matters more than the lab itself. Sessions run in a regular classroom, on a classroom budget, drawing on the same themes as the lab: coding, AI, robotics, 3D printing, IoT.

Regular periods, not a club or an event. Four steps, in order: audit, curriculum co-design, teacher training, steady-state and showcase.

How we work

Three principles.

Educators before equipment.Pedagogy first. Tools earn their place when they add value.
Fit before ambition.Designed for the timetable you already have. A programme that assumes a different school will not survive exam season.
Implementation before expansion.Year-long structured engagement over one-off events. A workshop produces photographs; a year produces habits.

Computer science, in the right order

Computational thinking before syntax. Ideas before software.

CBSE's "Computational Thinking & AI" curriculum covers classes 3 to 8 from 2026-27; AI (subject code 417) is an established skill subject for classes 9 and 10. Build the thinking in the middle years.

Skill education with NCERT's Kaushal Bodh is mandatory in classes 6 to 8 from session 2025-26: 110 hours, roughly 160 periods, a year (Circular Skill-81/2025). Schools with a Composite Skill Lab "may utilize" it. The work is the point.

Honest answers

What schools ask us.

Do we need a lab?

No. Trained teachers and a running curriculum are what a new lab needs anyway. This builds them first.

Does this count towards the Kaushal Bodh 110 hours?

When it runs as the CSL track of the programme, the curriculum is the 110-hour, NCERT-aligned one mapped to the three forms of work. Run purely as a classroom programme with no lab, we will not claim it does; that requirement is defined by Circular Skill-81/2025 and NCERT's materials.

What does it cost?

Scoped per school, after an audit of the room you already have.
