C2C girls in Bangladesh
At C2C, we’re thrilled to announce new upgrades to our STEM lab! These cutting-edge technologies will empower our students to create and innovate while strengthening their skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
STEM skills and knowledge lead directly to future jobs, and by encouraging girls to pursue STEM education, we aim to help them break the cycle of poverty and take control of their futures. We’re proud to see our students seizing these opportunities. Just last month, one of our own secured a job in cybersecurity—a testament to the impact of STEM education on our students’ futures.
This success story is one of many and underscores the importance of our work at C2C. Through our upgraded STEM lab and dedication to empowering students, we’re helping to give girls the power of choice in their lives.
Here’s a sneak peek of how our enhanced STEM labs will support our mission.
C2C girls will explore and experiment with innovative technologies:
With robotics kits featuring sensors, motors, and controllers, they’ll undertake hands-on projects to design and build their own robots.
Utilizing software platforms like Next Education’s robotics programming interface, they’ll learn the coding skills required to control their robotic creations.
They’ll engage with dynamic learning tools like interactive displays, augmented reality (AR) resources, and simulation software that makes abstract concepts come to life.
These technologies perfectly complement C2C’s mission of equipping girls for success:
Next Education’s robotics technology blends key STEM fields like programming, electronics, and mechanical engineering.
The robotics solutions have intuitive, user-friendly interfaces and a curriculum that aligns seamlessly with C2C’s educational goals.
The interactive tools cater to different learning styles and encourage students’ active participation.
In addition to empowering our students, the new upgrades also provide valuable benefits to C2C teachers:
Comprehensive training sessions led by Next Education experts will ensure teachers are well-equipped to maximize the potential of the upgraded STEM resources.
Ongoing support, including workshops, webinars, and access to instructional materials, will give teachers the assistance they need to integrate new technologies into their classrooms.
Mentoring programs and opportunities for peer collaboration will foster a culture of knowledge sharing and professional growth among our teaching staff.
Additionally, the girls will explore experiential projects and activities such as:
Robotics Challenges: Students will participate in robotics competitions in which they design and program robots to complete specific challenges, such as maze navigation or object retrieval.
Interdisciplinary Projects: Students will apply their robotics expertise to solve pressing real-world problems. Projects may range from crafting assistive technologies for individuals with disabilities to creating eco-friendly solutions for sustainability.
With these exciting new technologies, C2C and our partners anticipate the following outcomes for our students:
Increased engagement and motivation, leading to greater academic achievement across STEM disciplines. Cultivation of C2C’s “Four Cs”—confidence, creativity, communication, and critical thinking—through immersive, project-based learning.
Development of problem-solving and collaboration skills with team activities.
Enhanced career readiness, with practical skills and knowledge applicable to fields such as robotics, engineering, and computer science.
C2C’s STEM labs have always aimed to provide girls with the tools and resources needed for their futures, and by implementing these cutting-edge technologies, we are taking that commitment to the next level. “These upgrades will not only enrich our curriculum,” says Ms. Trupti Shinde, Senior Tutor at C2C, “but also empower our students to become innovators and leaders in the fields of science and technology.
