The organisation has launched the following initiatives to develop the next generation of problem-solvers, critical thinkers, and innovators.
STEM Tinkering Lab to create social impact by building the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and technology leaders by setting up Robo Siksha Kendra – dedicated STEM tinkering, Robotics, A.I., and science labs.
STEM Education Support to Supplement Science and Maths school education for grades 9-12 through qualified faculty
Skill Development to Empower school teachers on hands-on learning pedagogy and tools in teaching STEM subjects or upskill students in Data Science, Cyber Security, Robotics, Python, & A.I.
Infrastructure Support to transform schools with vital infrastructure such as rooms, computer labs, smart classes, libraries, furniture, solar power, and essential civil work to provide access to basic education.
Furthermore, the organization holds robotics competitions, STEM Talks & Advocacy, capacity building programs and STEM ready school certifications
The organization is going to organize an "Exclusive and transformative STEM Conclave" which has been designed to bridge the gap between youth and 21st century skills. by "bringing together schools, colleges, industry leaders, and government stakeholders, fostering collaboration to empower the next generation for a technology-driven future."
