2022 was all about “ Demoratising STEM “ for us. It was our mission to ensure that we are able to take our STEM teaching solutions through our platform FLITE with cloud and offline solutions to schools across the country, in a simple plug-and play model, complete with all tools required to teach including robust trainer program.
How futuristic technologies are going to transform education in the year 2023?
This will be a two-way street, technologies like AR / VR and IoT will enhance the quality of learning and ensure that students get access to new learnings pedagogy at the click of a button.
