Professor Sugata Mitra at Gateshead CLC
We are delighted to welcome Professor Sugata Mitra to the CLC on BBC School Report Day. Professor Mitra will be taking part in an education debate to be broadcast live over the web at 14.00 tomorrow.
Prof. Sugata Mitra is currently Professor of Educational Technology at the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences at Newcastle University, UK.
He is also Chief Scientist, Emeritus, at NIIT.
He is the instigator of the Hole in the Wall (HIW) experiment, where in the year 1999 a computer was placed in a kiosk created within a wall in an Indian slum at Kalkaji, Delhi and children were allowed to freely use it. The experiment aimed at proving that kids could be taught computers very easily without any formal training. Sugata termed this as Minimally Invasive Education (MIE). The experiment has since been repeated at many places, HIW has more than 23 kiosks in rural India. In 2004 the experiment was also carried on in Cambodia.
His interests include Children's Education, Remote Presence, Self-organising systems, Cognitive Systems, Physics and Consciousness.
The Hole in the Wall experiment has left a mark on popular culture. Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup read about Mitra's experiment and was inspired to write his debut novel Q and A - this subsequently went on to become the movie Slumdog Millionaire.
Prof. Mitra is a leading proponent of MIE. He is a PHD in Physics and credited with more that 25 inventions in the area of cognitive science and education technology. He was conferred the prestigious Dewang Mehta Award for Innovation in Information Technology in the year 2005.

Gateshead CLC in World Record Attempt
March 11th isn't just BBC School Report Day...
More than 250 schools from the Shetland Islands in the north to Jersey in the south - and as far away as St Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean - will all be taking the temperature on 11 March. Schools here at the CLC on the day will be measuring and sending in the Gateshead temperature.
Each school will take a celcius reading at approximately 0915 and email it in to the BBC Weather Centre, who will compile all the readings for a huge weather report later in the day.
More info here on the BBC website
