Our Work

Project Albus

Project Albus is designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of Google’s Education Solutions in enhancing teaching practices within Pakistan’s public school system. The initiative launched its first pilot at IMCG in Islamabad, showcasing the potential of digital transformation in education through the use of Google tools and Chromebooks. Following the success of this pilot, the project aims to scale its approach across both public and private schools nationwide.

Project Aghaaz

Aghaaz aims to revolutionize Pakistan’s education sector through a transformative initiative being launched at the prestigious Educators Capital Campus G-11. This project focuses on examining the impact of incorporating Google for Education Tools into classroom settings and how these tools influence teaching and learning dynamics. It also seeks to uncover the challenges encountered during the shift from traditional classrooms to technology-enhanced environments. The program united key stakeholders, educators, and thought leaders in a collective effort to expand and enrich educational opportunities.

Understanding AI Adoption and Impact in Pakistani Startups

This research explores how startups across Pakistan are integrating artificial intelligence into their operations. Through a carefully designed survey of founders and teams from sectors such as fintech, edtech, and agritech, we aim to understand where AI is creating the most value, what challenges startups face, from talent shortages to ethical concerns, and how AI is shaping outcomes like efficiency, growth, and access to funding. The insights generated will contribute to a better understanding of AI’s role in driving entrepreneurial progress in emerging markets like Pakistan.

Enhancing Classroom Learning: A Case study of Gains for Teachers from Tech Valley and Google's Digital Safar

This study is designed to evaluate the "Digital Safar" initiative, a collaborative effort by Tech Valley and Google, focusing on its capacity to improve student learning within the classroom. Through a robust pre-test and post-test research methodology, we will specifically investigate how the integrated modules of "CS First" (introducing foundational computer science concepts) and "Internet Safety" (promoting safe and responsible online behavior) contribute to measurable advancements. The research aims to capture data on students' enhanced understanding of CS principles, their improved internet safety awareness and practices, and overall positive shifts in their learning engagement, providing clear evidence of the program's educational impact.
