Nasscom Foundation and Applied Materials India have set up seven new STEM labs in government schools at Malur, Kolar district. These labs will help students from classes 8 to 12 learn science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a fun and hands-on way. The schools will get robotics kits, experiment tools, and models to make lessons practical and exciting. Teachers will get special training in modern ways to teach STEM, managing labs, and using digital tools. This will improve how students learn and perform over time. Jyoti Sharma, CEO of Nasscom Foundation, said, "In India’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, technology skills are becoming a gateway to opportunity. Yet, students from underserved communities often lack access to quality STEM learning." She added the program brings STEM learning directly into classrooms, encouraging students to learn through experimentation, creativity, and discovery. Avi Avula, president of Applied Materials India, said, "India’s next decade of innovation will be built on strong foundations in STEM. At Applied Materials, we strive to align technology leadership with meaningful community impact." The labs focus on physics, engineering, robotics, programming, and math, helping students connect theory with real-world use. This project aims to empower rural students and prepare them for future digital careers.
