Among them, 2 girls from ASN Senior Secondary School, qualified for the international round, where they will be representing India in Europe this September.
Rajeev Tiwari, Co-Founder of STEMROBO said, “Empowering girls in STEM is not just about teaching skills; it’s about fostering a mindset of innovation and inclusion. Events like this inspire us all, showcasing the brilliance and creativity of these young minds. Through initiatives that prioritise education and empower marginalised communities, we are not only preparing these girls for successful careers but also creating role models who will inspire others to follow in their footsteps”.
Anurag Gupta, Co-founder of STEMROBO, said, “In many parts of the world, girls face significant barriers in accessing quality education, especially in STEM fields. Through our collaboration with UNICEF and the ANK Foundation, we are proud to empower young girls to thrive in technology and innovation, unlocking their potential as future leaders. By focusing on compassion-driven technology inventions, we believe girls are the right medium to encourage this kind of innovation because social engineering shows that they are more compassionate and understand human problems better than men. This achievement exemplifies the transformative power of education and mentorship. Through UNICEF and the ANK Foundation, we are beginning to convert our vision on the ground, starting in India. We aim to globally transform the landscape of innovation and increase girls’ contribution to the global innovation index by more than 30%.
STEMROBO, provides learning experiences and prepares students for the challenges of the 21st century. The company’s initiatives are also impactful in regions where access to education, especially for girls, is limited.
