We all strive together to solve our daily life challenges through our individual tricks and trials in order to achieve a barrier-free environment. In fact, this is indeed one of the progressive ways towards establishing a barrier-free world. Technology has been the most helpful tool for stepping ahead in this direction. But what if the door to technology itself becomes the greatest barrier on the way?
We have travelled so long seeing the magic of accessible technology and witnessing its impact on our lives. But even in this third decade of the 21st century, involvement of people with visual impairment in the STEM field is still very low.
Some of the main reasons for this are:
1. Most students end up quitting their Mathematics and Science subjects after class 8th or 10th. 2. There has been a lack of proper guidance and motivation. 3. Unavailability of accessible resources and required support. 4. Lack of awareness among students and families.
Consequently, participation of students in engineering colleges and product-based companies remains almost negligible. Due to this, often essential accessibility concerns are not taken seriously. Even after the arrangement of tons of awareness programs, a universal inclusive design approach still remains vague for many.
Therefore, to remove the underlying gaps, our team has decided to help interested students pursue their STEM education with no hurdles.
Our Goals
Our goal is to ensure that no student ever quits Mathematics or Science subjects after class 8th or 10th due to the lack of resources, guidance, and support. Everyone who is willing to master technical skills should never be deprived due to any reason whatsoever.
What We Intend to Do
We will organize awareness workshops to unravel the ever-growing opportunities in the STEM field. We will provide Mathematics and Science study materials in accessible or digitized format. We may organize live classes or doubt-solving sessions. Most importantly, we will provide hands-on training on programming languages.
The journey has begun, and every step counts. If you or someone you know is interested in STEM education, reach out to us. Together, we can break the barriers.
