How Nebula
Cloud is Transforming School Computer Labs from Grades 1 to 12?
Schools are
expected to deliver cutting-edge digital literacy, but traditional computer
labs are costly, fragmented, and difficult to maintain. Software licensing,
hardware upgrades, local IT support, and non-uniform curriculum tools only add
to the burden.
At Nebula Cloud,
we conducted a comprehensive, grade-wise analysis across CBSE, ICSE, IB/PYP,
and Cambridge boards. The result: A single, cloud-powered platform that meets all computer lab requirements
from Grade 1 to 12—with zero software license cost.
Welcome to the Nebula
Cloud Workbench for Schools.
Our Research
Approach
We analyzed:
✅
Official board-wise curriculum documents
✅ Classroom practices
from top-performing schools globally and in India
✅
Tools required for ICT, Computer Science, AI, Data Science, Robotics, IoT
✅
Differences between prescribed vs. commonly practiced software usage
