Children around the world are unable to reach their full potentials not due to a lack of ability, but a lack of access. Growing up in the Sillicon Valley with two engineer parents I was very blessed to have been exposed to technology from a young age. Whether it was Code.org projects or LEGO robotics, I had every opportunity for my passions to blossom and grow, sparking my desire to pursue a STEM career. These opportunities aren't available to many kids and many kids are left without ever getting to explore these things. Stempower aims to bridge this gap by making STEM education much more available through many of our initiatives including STEM camps, low-cost technology kits and more.
As an initiative to promote STEM education, STEMpower has hosted yearly Lego Robotics summer camps free of charge to all students. As part of these camps, we have educated over 100 students on the basics of engineering, programming and iteration through First Lego League style competitions. As of Friday June 27th 2025, We just finished our 4th such camp! View the pictures in our gallery!
Several of our summer camp students went on to continue pursuing STEM by starting First Lego League competition teams. To further support and encourage STEM education, we offered competitive mentorship to these teams - free of charge.
An important STEMpower initiative is our low-cost STEM kits. We have developed Electrical Engineering kits for only $15 with the same capabilities as far pricier alternatives. We are working to put our kits in the hands of children around the world in order to spread interest and experience in STEM.
Stempower hosted a free STEM workshop for the underprivileged students of Belakoo Trust. We worked with 20+ students ranging from 5th-8th grade to teach basic STEM. Communicating in a Kannada medium we taught students about Newtonian motion through a fun balloon cart exercise, inspiring students to pursue science by showcasing the fun of hands-on learning.
Stempower hosted a free STEM workshop for the underprivileged orphans of Thayi Mane Children's home. We worked with 36 students ranging from 8th-9th grade to teach electronics and instill a love for STEM through Stempower's low cost STEM kits. Students learnt about basic circuitry and even used sensors to build exciting projects!
Stempower hosted a free STEM workshop for the underprivileged students of Sri Renuka High School. Operating through a Kannada medium, we worked with 20 students ranging from 8th-10th grade to teach electrical engineering. Utilizing our low cost STEM kits, we walked students through developing fun projects where they learnt about circuit design and computing.
