IIT Delhi Promotes STEM Education in Northeastern India Through Outreach Initiative
IIT Delhi has launched comprehensive outreach initiatives to promote Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education across underserved regions of Indi
Expanding Access to Quality STEM Education
The institute’s Academic Outreach and New Initiatives department has developed targeted programs to ensure students from remote areas gain exposure to advanced scientific concepts and research methodologies. These initiatives represent a significant step toward democratizing access to quality STEM education and fostering scientific temperament among young minds in regions that have historically had limited exposure to premier technical education.
Mentorship Programs and Hands-On Learning
The outreach program emphasizes personalized mentorship, where IIT Delhi faculty members and research scholars work directly with students to provide foundational knowledge in STEM disciplines. Under this initiative, each schoolgirl will be mentored by an IIT Delhi faculty along with his/ her research scholars. During the mentorship period, they will be exposed to foundational concepts in STEM disciplines, and also learn the experimental methods and techniques used in science labs.
Building Future Scientific Leaders
This workshop provides an opportunity for women students to explore opportunities in STEM and make informed career choices based on their interest and passion, according to IIT Delhi’s leadership. The program represents a long-term investment in regional development, potentially transforming the educational landscape of northeastern India while contributing to the nation’s broader scientific advancement goals.
