Testimonials

Real stories of growth, learning, and transformation.

Samrachana Bhandari 12, Butwal

"I got to learn a lot of things in this one-month-long coding program. The whole project was done from scratch, and we got exposure to our imaginative skills while creating animations and games. My interest in computers and technology has further increased. It was overall a great initiative and opportunity."

Jeena Bhattari 13, Urlabarai

“I got to know many new things in five days. Learning to animate names, imagining out of the world stuff, making games, video sensing, creating a story by myself has grown my interest in the IT field. It was really fun in this workshop.”

Sanjita Pokhrel Freshmen at Sweet Briar College

“The overall journey as a mentee was an incredible learning opportunity for me. The mentorship covers not only STEM topics but also personal development. The mentors were always ready to guide us in any way possible. The program opened so many doors for me. I got an opportunity to widen my network.”

Simran Khadka 12, Chitwan

“I took part in this 5 days virtual coding program which was really informative. I didn’t know about coding before but this program helped me to gather knowledge about algorithms, coding, and game development from scratch programming. I had so much fun and I even made games by myself.”

Jeny Kiran Basukala Mother of Jasmine

“I am very grateful to the instructors. My daughter is keen to learn and finds programming easy because of their supportive teaching. She has become more curious, learned time management, and started choosing programming over playing games."

Aashma Khanal Educator

Being a part of the STEAM Education Program at Smart Cheli has been a truly rewarding experience for me. Teaching students and seeing their excitement during experiments and learning activities brought me immense joy. This program not only helped students explore STEM in a practical way but also helped me grow more confident and comfortable in teaching and leadership. I am grateful to the Smart Cheli team for providing me with this meaningful opportunity to learn, grow, and create an impact.

Shristee Educator

“What began with nervous excitement turned into joy — watching my students learn, question, and believe in their own brilliance. Every experiment, and believe in their own brilliance. Every experiment, very smile, every ‘I get it now!’ made me fall in love with teaching all over again.”

Bishnu Prasad Acharya Teacher

"STEM is an excellent program that connects science with technology through hands-on learning. Our students are excited to learn, create, and explore new ideas, and even those who had stopped attending have returned because of these engaging activities. We've gained valuable opportunities through the instructors, and I hope this program continues to reach even more schools."
