Yesterday in Dhaka our Google Bus began a twelve month journey of over 500 college and university campuses in 35 locations across Bangladesh.
The specially retrofitted bus with 3G Internet will hopefully help give half a million undergraduates a better sense of the power and utility of the Internet, and show them how to plan and collaborate in new ways. Following Dhaka, the bus will make its way to schools in and around major cities including Chittagong, Khulna, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Rangpur and Barisal. Stay informed about the Google Bus’ upcoming stops and keep in touch with other students who’ve taken part in the workshops on the Google Bus Bangladesh Community page.
We hope this program equips the country’s next generation of entrepreneurs with the digital tools that will empower them to start and grow their own projects and businesses online.

ReplyDeleteI am headed to Bangladesh from the US next week and would like to catch up with the bus for an article on Bangladesh. Is there a schedule of where it will be?
ReplyDeleteLove the idea, great way to spread internet education.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I can tell there are around 100 colleges and universities in Bangladesh. Where does the 500 campuses figure come from?
