Students cannot develop necessary technical abilities unless they have access to the internet, and digital literacy requires special attention in schools and colleges. Lack of connectivity doesn\u2019t just limit young people\u2019s ability to connect online &#8211; it prevents them from competing in the modern economy, it isolates them from the world, and it causes them to lose out on education. In partnership with Rainbow Boosters and Pandit Abaji Panshikar Foundation, Kuma Foundation has created the first Kuma Lab at a rural school in Pune, India &#8211; featuring a fully functioning computer lab, a computer teacher and digital literacy curriculum \u2013 to bridge the digital divide and get 187 boys and girls from all grade levels online.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efa59df e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"efa59df\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bbe056 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5bbe056\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.21.0 - 15-04-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"686\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumacares.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Untitleddesign8.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-296\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumacares.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Untitleddesign8.jpg 686w, https:\/\/www.kumacares.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Untitleddesign8-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-846bdaf e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"846bdaf\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-573f770 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"573f770\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8d48e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f8d48e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumacares.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Kuma-STEAM-program-1024x768.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-318\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumacares.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Kuma-STEAM-program-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.kumacares.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Kuma-STEAM-program-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kumacares.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Kuma-STEAM-program-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.kumacares.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Kuma-STEAM-program.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48f8caf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"48f8caf\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fafa628 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fafa628\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Elementary Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) Program\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99c320a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"99c320a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe believe that all kids deserve a high-tech future, but low-income students lack access to STEAM exposure, education, and enrichment, severely limiting their ability to compete in a 21st century workforce.
