Computer Labs and Thaki Toolkit

Beginning in October 2023, with assistance from Thaki, Terra launched a new model of integrating technology into the educational program by setting up and utilizing two computer labs in its facilities.

These computer labs serve as focal points for teaching groups of students various computer skills, usually led by a qualified computer teacher. Furthermore, teachers in the classroom take advantage of the labs to implement the Thaki toolkit, which consists of digital modules that address Math and Science topics, as well as to engage in research or create technology-related projects with their pupils. Technology experts also make use of the computer labs for professional development sessions, teaching educators about different facets of computer usage within learning environments.
