In an exciting development for SVM in Gujarat, two STEM Innovation hubs were successfully launched in schools in the Vadodara and Narmada districts promising to open new doors of opportunity and interest in STEM subjects for students. These innovation hubs, established at Shri S.M. Shah Vidyamandir, Savali, (for students in grades 9-12), and Eklavya Model Residential School, Waghodia, (for students in grades 6-12), are poised to revolutionize the way students engage with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The establishment of these innovation hubs is a collaborative effort between the Smart Village Movement and Curiosity Gym, aimed at fostering STEM education. To kickstart this initiative, a comprehensive teacher training program was conducted to empower educators with the skills and knowledge needed to conduct experiential-learning-based STEM sessions effectively. The ultimate goal is to align the learning outcomes with the New Education Policy (NEP) and make STEM subjects more accessible and engaging for students.
