The Mobile Science Lab program of Project 511 launched in April 2008 aims at improving science education in Government high schools. Under this program, science practical’s are demonstrated to children studying in Class VI – X in Government high schools by a Mobile Science Lab with two qualified teachers. Each Mobile Science Lab covers 10 Government high schools by visiting one school per day. In a year, the syllabus for science experiments in Physics, Chemistry and Biology are completed along with revisions in 15 sessions.

• In the first year of operations, the practicals were demonstrated to the children after explanation of the theory using a laptop and projector. From the second year of operations till date, the emphasis is on the children having a hands-on experience by doing the experiments themselves.
  
  
• The teachers of Mobile Science Lab have documented every experiment in Physics, Chemistry and Biology for Classes VI – X in a manual. The manual has been reviewed by five experts in the field of science. The manual has already passed through several phases of improvisation after the reviews. A meeting with the science teachers of our Mobile Science Lab schools was also held to include their feedback and suggestions in the manual. The manual (in Telugu) is in the final stages of completion and will be printed shortly for use by teachers in Government schools.

• The assessment of the program in Year I was done by conducting a pre and post assessment in Mobile Science Lab and Control schools. The results were positive and showed a greater improvement in the academic performance of schools visited by Mobile Science Labs.
  
  
• In Year II, the pass percentages of children in science in Mobile Science Lab schools were collected and analyzed. It showed an improvement from 52 % to 57 % compared to the percentages before Mobile Science Lab.
  
  
• In the second phase of assessment, the science marks of children before and after the Mobile Science Lab for the same set of children was collected.The anlaysis showed a growth of 17% in the marks of the children after Mobile Science Lab.
  
  
• In the year 2010-11, two girl students scored 98 marks in Science in Class X examinations - Ms.Saidamma from Zilla Parishad High School Manikonda and Ms.Mayuri from Government High School Punjagutta. 100% pass percentage in Science subjects were achieved by 3 Government high schools covered by this program. 

At present, Project 511 is operating 8 Mobile Science Labs reaching 80 government high schools and more than 16,000 children. They are sponsored by the following donors:

1. The first two Mobile Science Labs launched by Project 511 in April 2008 were sponsored by Kusuma Trust and Hyderabad Pearl Round Table 183

2. Matrix Laboratories has sponsored the Capital and Revenue expenditure for the third Mobile Science Lab.

3. Shantha Vasantha Trust has sponsored the capital expenditure for a lab for which the Revenue expenditure is being sponsored by Datamonitor.

4. Project 511 has entered into an agreement with Rajiv Vidya Mission (Sarva Siksha Abhiyaan) and launched four additional Mobile Science Labs in     December 2010 with 50% funding from Rajiv Vidya Mission. Kusuma Trust has sponsored the additional 50% for these vans.
