Say hello to Sugata Mitra, the wizard of self-organized learning! This education guru made waves by putting computers in walls and watching the magic happen. His famous "Hole in the Wall" experiments showed that kids, armed with nothing but curiosity and a computer, could teach themselves just about anything — from English to biotechnology! Mitra's big idea? That learning can be a grand adventure, not a forced march. He dreamed up the "School in the Cloud", where kids become explorers in a digital wonderland, guided by grandmotherly figures he calls "Grannies". With a twinkle in his eye and technology in his toolkit, Mitra has been turning education on its head, proving that sometimes the best teacher is no teacher at all. Thanks to him, classrooms around the world are becoming more like playgrounds of discovery!

This paragraph was written by a human, but the next paragraph was written by an AI. Why? Well, Sugata Mitra was a big inspiration for us and we believe his TED Talk should be required watching for everyone in education, but not everyone will watch a video without knowing what it’s about. We could spend some of our own time summarizing the video, but we’d prefer to spend that time meeting local educators and writing their untold stories for future posts.
