The program involved 50 pilot schools that succeeded in integrating at least two AIOT-based lesson plans per class per month. These schools submitted workable lesson plans alongside videos, resulting in a compendium of 70 lesson plans that documented the technical aspects of AI and IoT integration. The successful program showcased potential access to quality education through the collaboration of competent teachers who developed these lesson plans.
