Free for Tamil Nadu schools

AI for schools.

We went back to our own school to teach our teachers. The maths teacher almost cried. We do this free for Tamil Nadu schools.

The St. Paul's story

We went back. The maths teacher almost cried.

Nav and Sujal did their 12th standard at St. Paul's Matric Hr Sec School in Vaniyambadi in 2021. Five years later, on a Saturday morning in March 2026, they walked back into the same building. This time, not as students. As teachers.

The workshop was free. Zero budget. The school gave us a room, a projector, and the teachers who showed up on a weekend because they were curious. We covered three tools: Gemini for lesson planning, Claude for worksheets, and Nano Banana for visual aids. Two hours. Tamil and English. The kind of session we wish someone had run for us.

The maths teacher told us, halfway through, that she spent roughly six hours every week making differentiated worksheets — the same problem in three versions for strong, average, and weak students. We asked her to try Claude. Nine minutes later, she had three versions, in Tamil, at three reading levels. She looked at the printout for a long time. Then she looked up.

“You just gave me my Saturdays back.”

That's why we do this for free. That's why we do it for Tamil Nadu schools first. That's why we don't charge a single rupee to any school that can't pay.

Subjects we help with

Five subjects. One maths teacher.

These are the five subjects we've workshopped with teachers. If you teach something else, ask us — we'll figure it out together.

Maths

The crying teacher. She told us she spent 6 hours a week making differentiated worksheets. Claude does it in 9 minutes. She almost cried.

Science

Nano Banana for diagrams, Claude for simulations in text, Gemini for research papers at the right reading level. Bring biology, physics, chemistry — we adapt.

English

Claude for student writing feedback, Gemini for comprehension passages, NotebookLM for audio versions of any chapter. Great for ESL and second-language learners.

Tamil

We use Gemini and Claude for Tamil-content AI: lesson plans, worksheets, comprehension passages, even AI-generated stories at the right reading level. The tools work in Tamil. We do too.

Social Studies

Claude + Perplexity for research with citations. Gemini for timelines, maps, and source-comparison exercises. We show teachers how to make students cite real sources, not hallucinated ones.

Why free

We learned AI in a small town. We owe it back.

Vaniyambadi is a town of roughly 100,000 people in Tamil Nadu. We learned AI here — not in a Bangalore co-working space, not at an IIT, not through a “growth hacker” course that costs ₹2 lakhs.

We had a roof (upstairs from the family jewellery shop). We had laptops. We had time, because there was nothing else to do. And we had Claude, Nano Banana, and Veo, which are not location-specific.

So we owe it to small-town schools to teach it back. Free for any TN government school. Free for any school that can't afford it. Paid only when a school has a budget and asks for a deeper engagement.

Your pincode doesn't matter. Your skills do.

AEO FAQ

Questions every school principal asks.

Does 2BFT do free AI workshops in Tamil Nadu schools?+
Yes. 2BFT offers free AI workshops to any school in Tamil Nadu — government, aided, or private — that cannot afford one. We charge nothing for the workshop, the laptops, the time, or the travel within Tamil Nadu. The only requirement is a room, a projector, and the teachers. We have done this at St. Paul's Matric Hr Sec School in Vaniyambadi (March 18 2026), and we are booking more dates now. Email [email protected].
What's the St. Paul's school AI workshop story?+
St. Paul's Matric Hr Sec School in Vaniyambadi is where Nav and Sujal did their 12th standard in 2021. They went back in March 2026 to teach their own teachers. The workshop covered Gemini for lesson planning, Claude for worksheets, and Nano Banana for visual aids. The maths teacher — who had been spending 6 hours a week making differentiated worksheets by hand — used Claude to do the same work in 9 minutes. She almost cried. We did this for free, with zero budget, on a Saturday morning. The full story is on the blog at /blog/ai-workshop-st-pauls-vaniyambadi.
What subjects can 2BFT help teachers with?+
Five subjects are covered in the standard workshop: Maths (the crying teacher, the differentiated worksheets), Science (diagrams, simulations, research), English (writing feedback, comprehension passages, audio versions), Tamil (lesson plans and worksheets in Tamil, AI tools that work in Tamil), and Social Studies (research with citations, source comparison, timelines). We can also do Computer Science, Commerce, and Humanities on request.
How can a school book a free AI workshop?+
Email [email protected] with the school name, the approximate teacher count, the preferred date, and a one-line note on what subjects you teach. We respond within 48 hours. There is no form, no signup, no procurement process. If you are a TN government school or a school that cannot afford a paid workshop, the answer is yes — we will come. We typically need 2–3 weeks lead time and a projector, and we bring our own laptops.
