Why This Matters

Schools Want STEM Labs. Teachers Need the Skills to Run Them.

Thousands of Indian schools have acquired robotics kits and 3D printers. Most sit unused — not because teachers are unwilling, but because they were never trained. KnowledgePitch exists to close that gap.

of school STEM kits in India are reported unused or underused within 6 months of purchase
