The classroom can close. Learning doesn't have to.

Ustad is a whole school on your phone or computer: the official textbooks, page by page (Mathematics for grades 10 to 12 and Physics for grades 10 and 11 today, more on the way), and a patient AI teacher you can chat with or talk to. It keeps working without the internet.
