Today, February 11, is the #UnitedNations’ International Day of Women and Girls in Science. At #AMMACHI Labs we support the potential of women in the STEAM field, such as Amritha Natarajan. Amritha is a key member of our haptics team as she studies for her #MTech degree. In an effort to inspire young women to study science at advanced levels, Amritha has prototyped paper flowers with LEDs in workshops for Paripally students from tribal belts of Idukki and Meghalaya. Through this hands on #maker approach, she teaches principles of circuit design and crafts at the same time. This style of pedagogy is popularized as STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics). The girls are interested in pursuing science in higher education, and are delighted to get to work with such a powerful role model! Go Amritha! #WomenInScience #FacesofAMMACHILabs #WomenEmpowerment
