Enabling Communities in Jharkhand in India to diversify in Economic Opportunities
DEF’s implementation of STEM for Girls classes has witnessed support and love from not just students but also their families. Sarayu is a student of 8th standard in a school in Telangana’s Yerrupalem area. She, along with her sister Sayura, is enrolled with the program. The entire family follows the class, especially their father Srinivas, ever since its shift to online mode due to the pandemic. Srinivas said, “After the STEM classes shifted online, I would watch my daughters attend the class and practice the experiments. I realised that the classes are developing their critical-thinking and analytic mindset along with giving them a sense of accomplishment and joy. But I never understood their talent till they performed a scientific experiment at home. I see a bright future for my girls and the STEM classes are pushing them and other children in the correct direction.”
