Three editions. Two venues. One growing belief — children learn best when they are given the opportunity to think, explore and experience. When we started the Engineering Design Challenge Competition (EDCC) at The STEM Makers, the intention was never to create just another competition where students compete for prizes. We wanted to create something different. […]

From Young Racers to Precision Engineers: A Journey of Preparation, Competition and Learning The spirit of engineering came alive as seven students from The STEM Makers, Vijayawada, travelled to Pune to participate in the WSRO Regionals 2026, held on 8th August 2026. Representing three different age groups and competition categories, the students preparation, experimentation with

The world of robotics is no longer confined to research laboratories and engineering colleges. Today, students as young as eight years old are designing robots, solving engineering challenges, and competing on national and international stages. The WSRO 2026 is one such opportunity that encourages young innovators to transform their ideas into working robotic solutions while

For decades, academic success in India was often associated with memorization, repetition, and the ability to reproduce information during examinations. However, the educational landscape is rapidly evolving. In alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, CBSE has been steadily shifting towards competency-based education, emphasizing understanding, application, critical thinking, and problem-solving over rote learning. CBSE

Technology is rapidly transforming the way we teach, learn, and manage educational institutions. Recognizing the importance of preparing educators for this evolving landscape, Avinya International School recently hosted a series of training sessions focused on technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. The sessions were facilitated by Ms Asha Kranthi from The Stem Makers, attended

With the introduction of Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence into the CBSE curriculum for Classes 3–8, schools across the country are preparing to equip students with the problem-solving and analytical skills needed for an increasingly technology-driven world. To support this transition, The STEM Makers recently conducted a hands-on teacher training workshop, focused on understanding and

  In April 2026, we had the pleasure of hosting an Aeromodelling Workshop @ The STEM Makers, a first of its kind in Vijayawada,  by Dr. Anil Kumar Pasam, Ph.D. Aerospace Engg, Monash University, Australia, B.Tech & M.Tech, Aerospace Engg, IIT Madras.  8 students from class 10 – class 12, spanning multiple schools – Delhi

In a world driven by innovation and technology, learning shouldn’t be limited to textbooks. One of the most exciting ways to introduce students to real-world science and engineering is through hands-on workshops like  aeromodelling workshops, where imagination takes flight. What is Aeromodelling? Aeromodelling is the art and science of designing, building, and flying scaled-down aircraft

VIQRC 2026-2027 Season “Level Up” – Game Review Level Up is the official game for the VEX IQ Robotics Competition(VIQRC) 2026–2027 season, which was released by RECF and Vex Robotics on April 30th. In this challenge, teams design robots to collect and score game objects on goals of different heights with different scoring capability, while
