Tech for empowerment

I would like to request all the members to provide valuable information regarding contributions and advices regarding positioning Nepal as a country with large pool of youth volume with STEM background. There is an acute shortage of ICT pool of graduates and researchers globally and our members could also play key role in production of STEM pool for ICT industry in Nepal. Companies of Nepal are facing shortage of such back ground.

Innovators around the world are encouraging young girls in STEM programmes. Our women activists should play a lead role in promoting such program. Ignorance is bliss and stupidity at it's finest. The problem with close minded people is that their mouth is always open.

Arvind Gupta was my batchmate at IIT Kanpur. While we played in play grounds he would play with the children of Mess staff, cleaners and washermen at IIT K making them play with waste materials. Today he is a famous Tactile Learning First Eminent scientist and Padma Bhusan award winner of India. He had popularised science in the country through toys from readily available materials. Children should be encouraged to visit his sites in internet https://www.youtube.com/@arvindguptatoys

Education ministry of Nepal should review education model taking advice from researhers. Activity-based learning should be the norm and students, before they can understand any concept. They need to learn to manipulate different materials. They should also assemble them, pull them apart and put them back together. students to make things with their own hands. Such program will unleash creativity and end rote learning, encourage recycling, and reduce the carbon foot prints.

Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Many professional organizations are available for women who work in STEM jobs. In order to help women progress in these fields, the organizations offers mentoring and coaching services, as well as advice on work-life balance issues. They also resources to educate women in the field, such as books, workshops, educational videos, and research journals. They also participate in advocacy on behalf of female STEM workers to address the key issues that impact their careers. However these organizations should review their model incorporating technology and researchers.
