On July 31st, a group of dedicated employees from Garrett Motion took time out to volunteer at Sri Saraswathi Vidya Niketan School in Bengaluru. This initiative is part of Garrett Motion’s commitment to promoting STEM education and inspiring the next generation of innovators. The event was held in the school’s state-of-the-art STEM tinkering lab, a space specifically designed to foster creativity and hands-on learning among students.
Guiding the Future Workforce
The session saw five enthusiastic Garrett Motion employees engaging with students in a variety of STEM activities. From building simple circuits to programming basic robots, the students were immersed in practical, hands-on learning experiences that brought STEM concepts to life. The volunteers used their expertise to simplify complex ideas, making them accessible and enjoyable for the young learners.
This initiative was not just about teaching; it was about inspiring. By interacting directly with professionals working in STEM fields, the students could see the real-world applications of what they were learning. It provided them with role models and potential career paths they might not have considered before.
