The inaugural session of the STEM@Schools Project was successfully organized on 12th July 2025 at the STEM Laboratory, P.K.M. College of Education, in collaboration with Srishti Robotics Technologies Pvt. Ltd. This initiative aims to equip school students with future-ready skills through hands-on learning in robotics, 3D printing, and coding. The program commenced at 10:00 AM with a formal inaugural ceremony. The event was inaugurated by Dr. Prasanth Mathew, Vice Principal and STEM Course Director, who emphasized the relevance of STEM education in the 21st-century landscape shaped by Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies.
An inspiring keynote session was delivered by Mr. Sunil Paul, CEO of Srishti Robotics Technologies, introducing students to the scope of robotics and the broader vision of the STEM@Schools initiative. His session included a dynamic live presentation showcasing national and international robotics projects, igniting curiosity and innovation among the young participants. Ms. Fathimathul Zuhara M, Program Coordinator and STEM mentor, delivered the welcome address. Ms. Roshni, Academic Dean, Vimal Jyothi Engineering College, felicitated the gathering, and the vote of thanks was proposed by Ms. Sonima Krishnan C, STEM Program Coordinator.
Following the inauguration, a hands-on robotics and programming workshop was conducted by Mr. Sunil Paul. He was supported by a team of 13 trained STEM mentors, who facilitated experiential learning for 24 selected students from various schools. Participants explored the fundamentals of robotics, logic-building, and coding, laying the foundation for future innovation. The interactive sessions helped students develop creativity, confidence, and problem-solving skills. Their active involvement reflected a deep interest in STEM learning, and many expressed pride in being part of this pioneering initiative. The workshop also served as a confidence-boosting platform for the STEM mentors, marking their successful entry into the field of STEM education facilitation. This inaugural event marks a promising beginning to the STEM@Schools project, nurturing the next generation of innovators and changemakers.
