Skills for Schools:
The Second Foundation Initiative
AMMACHI Labs has created the 2nd Foundation in 2016, an education initiative for teaching 21st-century technology skills to school children and young adults in rural and semi urban India.
If the first foundation of education is provided by the school and community in the basic literacies and values, the 2nd Foundation fortifies these with the 21st century skills. We put equal emphasis on teaching essential life and social problem solving skills alongside advanced technical skills like programming, robotics and hardware prototyping. This unique mix ensures that the youth build up resilience to face all eventualities that an unpredictable future brings.
COMBINING TECHNOLOGY WITH SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL LEARNING
The 2nd Foundation program reimagines education holistically and combines high technology with social and emotional learning. The workshops and year long programs are taught in schools across India and are delivered by mentors from AMMACHI Labs, fostering a peer-to-peer learning environment that is conducive to learning. The technical content and social/emotional learning content are woven together to create a unified platform for deeper and more integrated learning.
