Satyam Foundation It School

Satyam Foundation It School is over in Frazer Town, specifically at number 11. It is an old building with high ceilings and a lot of character. We have set up a few classrooms with second-hand computers for teaching people the basics of IT. It isn't a high-tech campus like the ones you see in the movies. The chairs don't all match and sometimes the internet connection gets a bit slow when everyone is online at once. But we make it work. Frazer Town is a nice place to be, with all the old trees and the food stalls nearby. You can often hear the traffic from the main road while we are trying to explain how to use a spreadsheet or write a simple program. We aren't a big institution with lots of funding. We started this because we saw a lot of young people who needed to learn these skills but didn't have anywhere to go. It is mostly a hands-on kind of place. We spend a lot of time showing people where to click and how to fix errors. The fans hum in the background and there is usually a pot of tea sitting on the corner desk. It feels more like a community center than a formal school. We just want to help people get comfortable with technology. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but we like the atmosphere. We have some plants on the windowsill that need watering.
