What does MakersBox Foundation do?
At MakersBox Foundation, our goal is to make STEM Education and Skill training accessible to the populace that is often denied access to quality education. We intend to do this by opening STEM labs in all Indian States and Union Territories. Through these STEM labs we will focus on creating an environment that focuses not only on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) but also on Culture, Reasoning, Art and Business (CRAB). By creating curriculum that augments primary education and creates opportunities for learning from a Project/Problem-solving based approach, we intend to widen the learners knowledge and equips them with skills that can make them future leaders and problem solvers.
With the current situation, quality education and learning experiences have been impacted, specifically for learners from underprivileged backgrounds. We need your help to understand how these changes have affected your learning experiences.
