INTRODUCTION
EDUbox is a self-contained, off-grid and modular learning environment, part of our Humanitarian Engineering action.
The EDUbox is funded through the Orange Knowledge Programme TMT+ project, sponsored by Nuffic and Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and acquired by Dr. Alberto Martinetti, Dr.ir. Peter Chemweno (DPM-ET Department), Belink Academy (Nesar Moshtaq, Arash Kargar) and Yarmouk University to provide technical vocational education and training (TVET) to underserved communities. The EDUbox is managed by EDUBox stichting (kvk: 83891560).
In the coming months, the detailed engineering will take place as well as the manufacturing of the prototype, which will be shipped to Jordan for a testing phase in the first quarter of 2022. Click on the image below to see the full timeline.
