Testimonials

Let’s hear what our supergirls have to say about us and our programs!

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.

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.

It was my pleasure to have received the opportunity to work and receive guidance from such fine STEM female graduates. Getting to know the struggles that they have had to overcome and the works that they have been doing to promote gender equality in STEM is something I cherish a lot. I met some like-minded people who have now become my close friends.

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.

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.

Bridging the Gap: Where Science Meets Engineering

At Smart Cheli, we are dedicated to transforming STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) education. Our most recent program, “Science Before Engineering,” has been a game changer for our devoted educators. By emphasizing scientific ideas as the foundation for engineering, we hope to improve educational quality and encourage future innovators.   Smart Cheli Initiative: Science Before Engineering The Vision Behind the Initiative (Why put science ahead of engineering?) The solution lies in the symbiotic interaction between these two fields. Engineering is the practical application of scientific knowledge. Without a thorough foundation of science, students lack the critical thinking and analytical skills
