Mobile Internet Unit (MIU) is a development project on computer-mediated education for teachers and students in schools of Malaysia. It is a self-contained, mobile library cum computing center in the form of a bus, driven by a "smart" driver and co-driver, which goes around the non-main stream schools in the country to conduct basic ICT (Information Communication Technology) literacy programs. Non-main stream schools are schools that are deprived of access to information and opportunity to acquire ICT skills. These schools are not included in the current government Smart Schools Programs or any other similar ICT initiatives conducted by non-government agencies.

  

The Mobile Internet Unit was a finalist in the 1999 Stockholm Challenge Award!
