We recently concluded a series of computer coding lessons at the Government Higher Secondary School Khurrianwala in Faisalabad!

Students learnt coding basics by creating animations using Scratch. Special thanks to the school administration and teachers for their support.

University Model School, the first school under the stem5 initiative, recently hosted a science event supported by an IREX micro-grant.

Volunteers conducted hands-on activities to explore commonly observed phenomenon and engaged students in a community service exercise.
