By associating with STEM Learning, corporates can play a pivotal role in improving the quality of education in India,” said Ashutosh Pandit, Managing Director, STEM Learning.
A backdrop explaining the basic principle of the models is placed at the MSC and this provides branding opportunities to corporates. Along with this, branding can also be done on a sign board inside the centre and at the entrance gate. STEM Learning also makes sure that such CSR efforts by corporates are promoted through media coverage and various social media channels.
“We have provided the STEM Experiment setup to the Nicora High School having 60 experiments. It is giving excellent understanding of principles of physics. The students are also very enthusiastic to learn from this. I think it will help a lot in future for the Quality Education. Thank you very much,” said D.M. Gandhi, GM Production Ankleshwar, Lupin Pharma.
Corporates can rest assured of the effectiveness of Mini Science Centres as STEM Learning provides a third party assessment report once the MSC installed.
Currently, STEM Learning is setting up Mini Science Centres under CSR programmes of Lupin Pharma, JSW Foundation, Bank of Baroda, L&T Infotech, UltraTech Cement, Mazagon Dock Limited, to name a few.
Looking at the proven impact of experiential learning, sponsoring Mini Science Centres as a part of their CSR programme will go a long way in shaping the future of students.
