STEM & Robotics Labs for Schools

This initiative is implemented by Nirmaan Organization, a development organisation with over 20 years of experience delivering community-scale projects across water access, livelihoods, education, and rural resilience in India. Nirmaan has extensive expertise in holistic education programmes that create sustainable, community-owned solutions with long-term impact through partnerships with local governments and funders.
STEM & Robotics Labs address a critical gap in government school education: whilst science and mathematics are taught, students rarely get to apply these concepts through hands-on experimentation with modern technology. This lack of practical experience means many students—especially girls and first-generation learners—never develop confidence in STEM subjects or consider technology careers as viable pathways. The labs make STEM tangible, exciting, and accessible.
Success is measured through student enrolment and attendance in lab sessions, learning assessment scores showing conceptual improvements, teacher adoption and active lab utilisation (not just initial setup but ongoing integration into teaching), and student participation in competitions, projects, and STEM challenges. Schools typically see 2–3x improvement in conceptual learning outcomes, increased STEM career aspiration among girls, and enhanced digital and problem-solving skills that benefit students across all subjects.
