Sugata Mitra, Ph.D.Dr. Mitra is most famous for his "Hole in the Wall" experiment in India, in which he proved that children do not require a teacher to learn!  In fact, these experiments were the inspiration for the multiple Academy Award winning film, Slumdog Millionaire.

Professor, MIT Media Lab, Cambridge, USA and Professor of Educational Technology, ECLS, Newcastle University, UK.  Read more about him and watch his talks on TED.  Also see his talks and the CNN report here.  We are honored to have Dr. Mitra serve as a member of the Advisory Board for 21st Century Schools



Famous for his "hole in the wall" project, Sugata spoke at the TED awards conference to reveal his new project: 

"My wish is to help design the future of learning by supporting children all over the world to tap into their innate sense of wonder and work together."

"Help me build the 'School in the Cloud,' a learning lab in India, where children can embark on intellectual adventures by engaging and connecting with information and mentoring online."
