SchoolBox

SchoolBox is a modular, solar-powered classroom system redefining access to education in Nigeria’s most underserved and displaced communities. Developed by The Offshore Lab (TOL), it addresses the urgent challenge of out-of-school children, especially in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps and insecurity-prone regions.

Each SchoolBox is a recycled shipping container transformed into a safe, self-sufficient classroom, ICT lab, or WASH facility. Designed for mobility and rapid deployment within a 28-day build cycle, SchoolBox ensures continuity in learning wherever traditional infrastructure fails.

Core Features:

• Solar-powered and independent of unreliable grids

• Mobile and relocatable to follow displaced populations

• Dignified, ventilated, and child-friendly learning environment

• Fast, scalable intervention for emergency education

Variants:

• Classroom Box – teaching boards, seating, solar lighting

• Science Box – equipped physics, chemistry, or biology lab

• ICT Box – internet-ready digital learning suite

Target Uses: IDP camps, rural schools, STEM labs, and reintegration zones.
