Curiocity

Creating curiosity for underprivileged students in STEM

Welcome to Curiocity

The ‘Curiocity’ initiative, started in 2021, aims to inspire underprivileged students in government schools to pursue STEM. It does so by establishing and upgrading science labs.The initiative features engaging ‘Science for Fun’ sessions that introduce students to scientific concepts.

Curiocity ensures that the government schools have the necessary basic lab equipment to conduct the relevant experiments.

Additionally, the project organizes annual science contests, encouraging students to explore and innovate with hands-on experiments, thereby fostering a deep-seated curiosity and passion for science.

We’re especially passionate about supporting girls from underprivileged communities.

As the famous scientist Marie Curie once said, “We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.” We believe that STEM is not just a field of study, but a pathway to building critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills. Through our workshops, mentorship programs, and online resources, we aim to inspire girls to pursue their interests in STEM and equip them with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed.

Developing Scientific Temper Requires a 360-Degree Intervention

Creating a scientific environment requires comprehensive efforts. Teachers must be trained to demonstrate projects with zest and gusto. However, this is ineffective if labs aren’t equipped. The project identifies lab equipment gaps in schools and provides annual equipment refreshes, ensuring functioning labs. Teachers are then encouraged to run science contests within the school, inspiring students to showcase their projects. The best projects from the 10 schools are displayed in a common school, where a jury evaluates each project and declares the winners of the annual best project award.

This process is defined and regular, bringing a refreshing new spark to the schools. Science teachers promote it with pride, aiming to put on the best show at the final exhibition.
