This year sees the launch our our latest project to help establish a computer science lab in Nepal. We will be working alongside Q Learning to establish the lab and with the Turing Trust to provide the laptops to be donated.

Q Learning are a charity founded in the UK who have an established school and infrastructure in Northern Nepal that will enable us to setup the lab and ensure that the computers donated will be maintained and used for the purpose intended.

The lab will be used to introduce 6-10 year olds to basic computing skills and developing their knowledge of computers and their uses. Beyond this, the lab will enable teaching in basic programming skills for older students.

The lab will also enable 16-18 year old students to borrow laptops for further education and establish a library system for use of computers.

The laptops will be refurbished devices supplied by The Turing Trust, which was founded by the family of Alan Truing. He was instrumental in cracking the enigma code during World War 2 and is considered the father of modern computing.

In order to see this project completed we require £17,000 which will fund the laptops as well as cover additional costs including teaching, maintenance and replacements for the next 5 years.
