By the end of program, you'll

Digital Fabrication & 3D Design: Master the use of Maker Space tools (Laser Cutters, 3D Printers) and design software (TinkerCAD) to turn concepts into physical prototypes.
Electronics & Physical Computing: Build working electrical circuits and smart systems using Arduino, understanding how sensors, actuators, and power sources interact.
Programming & Logic: Develop coding skills (using mBlock) to control hardware, creating interactive systems that respond to the environment.
Design Thinking & Innovation: Apply a structured problem-solving mindset—from user interviews to prototyping—to tackle real community challenges (like Smart Cities).
Professional Soft Skills: Cultivate a "Maker Mindset" through teamwork, effective communication, project documentation, and peer feedback.

Program Objectives

01

Breaking Barriers & Building Safe Spaces

02

Bridging the Education Gap

To establish a secure, inclusive environment where girls aged 14–18 can freely explore STEM and Tech, overcoming the gender stigma that has historically kept them out of the workshop.

To supplement the traditional school system by fostering critical competencies—creative thinking, complex problem-solving, and teamwork—that define the modern workforce.

03

Transforming Mindsets

04

Inspiring Through Role Models

05

Building a Sustainable Ecosystem

To engage parents and the wider community as active champions, challenging societal stereotypes and redefining what a "girl's education" can look like.

To connect students with successful women in tech who have overcome similar challenges, providing the mentorship and tangible inspiration needed to dream bigger.

To ensure long-term impact by connecting our alumnae with government bodies, continuous mentorship, and a lifelong network of peer support.
