Siemens
Stiftung (Foundation) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Siemens

Experimento

student worksheets, quizzes and question banks. Its integration with Project Jigyaasa
(curiosity-based learning initiative), will further enhance the learning
outcomes in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects. Pratham
Foundation is the project implementation partner.
Sunil
Mathur, Chief Executive Officer, Siemens Limited, said, “India’s young
population requires extensive hands-on learning and skilling to harness its
full potential. Siemens Limited's strategy on education is based on a lifecycle
approach and aligned to the Skill India mission of the Government.”
Dr. Nina Smidt,
CEO and Spokesperson of the Board, Siemens Stiftung, said, “Having worked in
Africa, Europe, and Latin America for over 15 years, we have experienced that
students learn best from resources that are rooted in their contexts. The
digital learning materials are adapted from our internationally acclaimed
education program Experimento to the needs and requirements of Indian students.
The resources are co-created with Indian academic experts, teachers and
families and offered to students in their mother tongues. Thereby, breaking
language barriers to learning science and technology.”
