Infosys Foundation USA, in collaboration with Miami EdTech, Infento, GoSprout, and Riders, has launched an exciting initiative to provide advanced STEM education to Indiana students. The project aims to equip up to 300 students across ten schools with essential engineering, robotics, and coding skills, setting them up for success in the future tech industry. By offering engaging STEM programs, professional development, and internship opportunities, the program empowers students to become Indiana’s next generation of tech leaders.
The partnership will focus on several core areas to enhance STEM education. Infento will provide schools with its “Pro Kit,” an electric vehicle product that allows students to build life-size vehicles, sparking interest in engineering and design. Meanwhile, Riders will offer a platform for students to learn robotics programming and compete in global online competitions. Miami EdTech will support teachers through training, ensuring they can effectively integrate these programs into their classrooms. Additionally, GoSprout will help connect students with internships and apprenticeship opportunities in Indiana’s tech industry.
The project’s first song, “Sambhala Hai Maine,” launched on December 9th, marks the beginning of a broader effort to reimagine STEM education. In spring 2025, students will have the chance to participate in build-a-thon and hack-a-thon challenges, where they can showcase their newly acquired skills. These events are designed to inspire students, foster creativity, and allow them to apply their learning in real-world situations.
Carlos Vazquez, Founder of Miami EdTech and GoSprout, stated, “By connecting future careers with powerful STEM programs in the classroom, we are investing in our future workforce.” Max Ringelheim, US Director of Operations for Infento and Riders, added that the programs would help keep students motivated by providing engaging, real-world STEM experiences.
Through this initiative, Infosys Foundation USA is not only providing students with critical skills but also contributing to a more technologically skilled workforce in Indiana. The program is a testament to the evolving landscape of education and workforce development in the U.S., offering new pathways for students to succeed in the fast-paced world of technology.
