- Phone Mentoring: Children often wonder whom to ask a science question or a maths
puzzle or discuss that burning query? Sad reality is, very few (poor) children have
access to anyone to look up to in such moments (curiosity killer!). To address this very
basic need of children, Spread Creativity project has launched this mobile tutoring
concept (as pilot) to fill in the real life need of guidance among students, especially
from under-educated family backgrounds. Phone Mentors are registered on the Spread
Creativity portal and upon due diligence are carefully mapped to students of registered
schools. The mentors then guide the students remotely.
