Why VidyaSetu
Closing the digital divide, one mentor at a time

- Real practitioners, real skillsEngineers, designers and students mentor children in tools the industry actually uses.
- Always free for childrenEvery course, device and session is provided at no cost to the families we serve.
- Inspired, not just taughtBeyond skills, mentors show children a future they can see themselves in.
How it works
Become a mentor in three simple steps
You don’t need to be a teacher — just a few hours a month and a willingness to share what you know.

Fill in a short form telling us your skills and availability. Students and working professionals are all welcome.
2 · Get matched & trained
We pair you with a learning hub and a small group of children, and give you a ready-made curriculum and onboarding.
3 · Teach & inspire
Run weekly sessions — online or in person — guiding children through projects and opening their eyes to what’s possible.
