Inspiring Creative Minds for Future Innovation with STEM Exploration

Project Overview & Vision

“Inspiring Creative Minds for Future Innovation with STEM Exploration” is a state-wide initiative by Samagra Shiksha, Himachal Pradesh in implemented by Agilo Research (STEMpedia). Spanning 700 government schools, it uses modern digital tools—virtual labs, coding, AI and XR bootcamps, capacity building of teachers, and more—to ignite curiosity and equip students (classes 6–12) with the skills to tackle tomorrow’s challenges. This aligns with India’s National Education Policy 2020 and emphasizes experiential, future-ready learning.
