Prof Sugata Mitra is a professor of Educational Technology at the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences at Newcastle University, UK. He is drawn to self-organising systems, especially for primary education. He shot to the limelight with his Hole-in-the-Wall experiment (1999) at a slum in New Delhi, where a computer was installed and left for children at the slum to play with, and hopefully, learn something from.
