STEM Z Henrico Students Launch Platform to Make STEM Accessible for All Kids

Schools in Tier II/III regions are embracing AI, coding, and robotics to prepare students for future-ready careers. Experts highlight how accessible tech and government initiatives are driving this educational shift.

Small Towns, Big Leaps in Education ​

As technology reshapes education globally, schools in India’s Tier II and Tier III cities are stepping up to bridge the gap. These institutions are embracing AI, coding, and robotics to equip students with future-ready skills. From setting up coding clubs to launching AI-driven labs, the digital revolution is no longer limited to metro cities. The shift is redefining what’s possible for students in smaller towns, empowering them with tools once seen only in elite urban schools,

Driving Change Through Policy and Innovation

According to Mr. Anurag Gupta, Co-Founder of STEMROBO Technologies, this transformation is largely driven by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. By formally introducing AI, coding, and robotics into the curriculum and supporting initiatives like Atal Tinkering Labs and School Innovation Councils, NEP has created a strong foundation for tech-based learning. School leaders are increasingly aware of the need to prepare students for a digital future and are taking proactive steps to make it happen. 

A Glimpse Into the Future of Learning

This rapid adoption of tech-driven education in smaller towns signals a promising future. Students are no longer limited by geography when it comes to accessing modern tools and learning methods. With policy support and increased awareness, the education system is moving toward inclusivity and innovation. The efforts being made today in Tier II and III cities could very well define the next wave of India’s tech talent.
