STEM School to build career and character

With rapid growth, change, and advancements in technology, it is imperative to encourage children to develop a scientific temperament to critically think, innovate, and contribute to problem solving. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) taught in school are important not only to build a productive career path in the future but also to develop life skills like scientific perspective and logical reasoning. However, STEM education in India is a challenge for government schools & low-income private schools as they struggle to implement it in their curriculum effectively. The reasons for this are a lack of basic and advanced learning infrastructure; outdated pedagogical techniques; and limited industry exposure to parents, students, and teachers. In order to prepare students for the 21st century workforce, it is necessary to offer students opportunities for creativity, innovation, and problem solving.
