A room full of computers, and a boy who loved his iPad
The ACE Lab was built in memory of Aaryaman. He loved his iPad — and that gave his family an idea: if a screen could open the world for one child, it could open it for many.
This is our computer room.
It is named after a boy called Aaryaman.
He loved his iPad.
Now many people learn here.
In short
- Started April 2015 with eight computers
- Set up by the Singh family and Dr. Nilima Sabharwal
- Job courses, school subjects and computer skills
- Students with and without disabilities in the same batch
- Also used by our staff, D.Ed. trainees and AICTE students
The people who made this room
The ACE Lab exists because families chose to turn their own loss and their own good fortune into something other people could use.
Kind people paid for this room.
We say thank you to them.
