STEM Baala

'Stem Baala' aims to foster confidence in girls and spark their curiosity for Stem: Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. We want to encourage Indian girls to study and pursue careers in STEM fields.We conduct computer classes every weekend for underprivileged girls, organize Science and Mathematics camps, help them prepare for competitive exams in Science and Mathematics and help them with books and stationary.We conduct a digital literacy camp for older women and organize talent search exams for underprivileged girls where the winners get scholarships. Thus we provide digital literacy for underpriviliged girls and show them that they too can have a successful career in the STEM field. This ,in turn, will help bridge the gap of education and wage that exists between men and women today. Thus by empowering the young girls of today, we can empower the women of the future. As of a few weeks ago, we have conducted weekly computer classes for 50 underprivileged girls. We are also providing 5 of these girls with robotics classes. Despite lockdown, we do not want to put a stop to the education of these underprivileged girls and so we are now conducting math and science classes on the weekdays over Whatsapp video call.
