Install Thambaa Labs

One installer for both Thambaa Tamil Labs and Thambaa Computing Labs. Install it on your school's computers, or on your own, on Windows, macOS or Linux.

Desktop only

Thambaa Tamil Labs is built for desktop and laptop computers. It does not run on phones, tablets or Chromebooks. If you are reading this on a phone, open this page again on a Windows, Mac or Linux computer when you are ready to install.

Installation needs administrator access

On a school network, please ask your IT administrator to run the installer. The installation guide below covers the whole process, and support@academy.karky.in will help if anything gets stuck.

You will need login credentials

The app opens with the credentials issued to your school, or to you individually through Thambaa Indie. If your school is a partner and you do not have logins yet, speak to your teacher. If you are an individual learner, Thambaa Indie is where you enrol.

Computing Labs and mobile

What is new, and what is next

School pilot · October 2026

Thambaa Computing Labs

Computing and coding education that brings programming concepts alive for school students, Levels 1 to 9. It runs in the same Thambaa Labs app as the Tamil Labs, so pilot schools use the installer above.

Bring it to your school

Coming soon · iOS and Android

Thambaa mobile app

A companion app to extend the learning journey beyond the lab. It will complement the desktop app rather than replace it, since the full lab needs a computer.
