Our Approach

Program Approach

The STAMP Program adopts a cascade model of training and implementation. Master Trainers, carefully selected and rigorously trained, serve as champions in their districts. They conduct Basic Training sessions for teachers, facilitate student workshops, and support STEM Lab setup and utilization. This sustainable approach ensures long-term impact, local ownership, and contextual relevance.

The program emphasizes:

Experiential, hands-on learning over rote memorization
Low-cost, locally available materials for innovation
Design thinking and problem-based learning methodologies
Integration of STEM with social issues and sustainable development goals
Gender-inclusive participation and tribal area outreach
