	We want to provide better educational opportunities for elementary school students all around the world. There is a pronounced achievement gap between students in "developed" countries and "developing" countries. We think technology can play a huge role in shrinking that gap. With this goal in mind, we will be introducing Sugar on a Stick to several classrooms in Delhi, India.
