TED Prize for Hole in the Wall experiments Imagine a new world of inexpensive learning where children from rural India and from urban slums get the same opportunity to work with new technology as children in richer areas do. Dr Sugata Mitra, Professor of Educational Technology at Newcastle University dared to imagine such a world. Widely known for his Hole in the Wall (HIW) experiments, Dr Mitra is the winner of USD 1 million TED Prize 2013. Initially, he set up an internet-connected computer in a hole dug up in a wall in a slum in Kalkaji, New Delhi. Through a hidden camera, he observed that the slum children, purely out of curiosity, freely played around with technology. Gradually, without any supervision, totally on their own, without any formal training, they learned how to use it and how to go on-line. Then, they taught each other. Dr Mitra termed this as Minimally Invasive Education (MIE). He has now set up HIW kiosks in Africa, Australia, Latin America and Asia. Hi
