What looked unstructured and chaotic at first was actually collective structure emerging in real time.

At the Pi Jam Unconference, nothing was pre-decided. The agenda took shape through shared inputs, open discussions, and sessions designed by participants themselves.

The model enabled shared ownership, meaningful participation, and collaborative learning across students, educators, researchers, and practitioners with students also stepping in to lead sessions.

Would you try or adapt this model in your own context? We at Pi Jam Foundation would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

As part of the Student Immersion Program, 50 Pi Jam students from KGBV schools visited the Amazon Hyderabad office, supported by Amazon Future Engineer.

From a hands-on workshop to a guided office tour and interaction with employees, students experienced how learning connects with real-world technology and careers.

It was a simple exposure, but a meaningful one, helping students understand how STEM, problem-solving, and collaboration come together in real workplaces.

We are grateful to the team at Amazon, Hyderabad for making this experience possible and impactful.

Months of classroom learning transformed into real-world innovation as students from six Bengaluru government schools took center stage at the office.

Through the STEM Labs powered by , students from Grades 5-8 presented projects developed through hands‑on learning in coding, computational thinking, design thinking, and AI. Many clearly articulated their ideas, challenges, and solutions ,reflecting how experiential learning is building not just technical skills, but curiosity and self‑belief.

Backed by committed teachers, supportive parents, and Chevron volunteers, these young innovators are showing that sustained exposure to STEM doesn’t just teach students how to use technology; it empowers them to create with it.

What if conversations about AI in education were shaped by the people experiencing it every day?
We’re experimenting with this through the Pi Jam Unconference.
A space where:
– there’s no fixed agenda
– conversations are shaped by participants
– and different voices come together to think, question, and reflect

Last week, the Chevron ENGINE–powered STEM Lab at GHPS Siddapura, Whitefield came alive with curiosity, creativity, and joy as 70+ Chevron ENGINE volunteers joined our students in preparing for their upcoming school innovation showcase.

Over 1.5 immersive hours, volunteers and students explored the wonders of magnetism and light, built hands-on STEM kits, and co-created learning resources for the exhibition. Volunteers also worked closely with teachers to develop learning resources and worksheets in the local language, enabling educators to seamlessly use these materials in their classrooms long after the session.
The interaction reflected the spirit of our learning journey—encouraging students to Think, Understand, Create, and Change.

Students asked questions, uncovered how things work, transformed ideas into tangible models, and discovered how technology can shape the world around them. Working shoulder to shoulder, volunteers and learners turned complex scientific concepts into experiences that could be seen, felt, and understood—making learning both meaningful and memorable.
The sessions were met with enthusiasm, with children engaging actively in the activities, while volunteers appreciated the curiosity and creativity displayed throughout the interactions.

A heartfelt thank you to the Chevron ENGINE volunteers for investing your time, energy, and passion in making STEM learning joyful, accessible, and impactful. When communities come together to Think, Understand, Create, and Change, learning truly comes alive.

Powered by Chevron, these STEM Labs, equipped with Raspberry Pi computers and 3D printers, are already igniting curiosity, creativity, and a love for innovation among government school students.

“Bhaiya, yeh CPU khol sakte hain?”
Balaji from Grade 8 asked during the Build Your Lab activity.

No tools were available, but he and his friends Umesh and Aavesh tried anyway, using a classroom scale to open it.

Within minutes, the three of them were exploring the motherboard, fan and wires, discussing how each part works and learning from one another.

This small moment captures what Build Your Lab really does, it gives students the space to think, understand, create and take ownership of their learning environment.

None of this is possible without the support of our school stakeholders, the PMC Education Department Headmasters, and teachers who trust students with responsibility and encourage them to design meaningful learning spaces.

With support from Bajaj Finserv CSR , and the backing of committed school leaders, students across our partner schools are transforming their own labs, making spaces that truly reflect their needs, ideas and aspirations.

When children build the spaces they learn in, they begin to own their learning.

Transforming Classrooms, Inspiring Futures!

Government school classrooms in Bengaluru were filled with laughter, curiosity, and a sense of achievement with the launch of STEM Labs powered by Chevron ENGINE a space where imagination meets innovation and learning turns into doing.

Attended by enthusiastic students, teachers, and community members, the event celebrated young minds taking their first steps toward 21st-century STEM learning and future-ready skills. With this intervention, six government schools across Sarjapur and Whitefield will now be equipped with Pi Labs, opening doors for over 1,300 students and 32 teachers to experience transformative, hands-on technology education.

Through Pi Labs, students explore an environment that encourages them to think, understand, create, and innovate transforming not just projects, but confidence, curiosity, and teamwork itself. The curriculum covers Computational Thinking, Design Thinking, AI Thinking, Problem Solving, and Digital Citizenship. Using Raspberry Pi computers and 3D printers, students develop coding skills, design prototypes, and tackle real-world challenges, building both technical and life skills along the way.

The energy in the classroom was unmistakable: a spark of discovery in every student’s eye, determination in every group, and a shared belief that learning can truly shape the future. Teachers are empowered through dedicated training, and learning outcomes are measured regularly to ensure every child is prepared for what lies ahead. Chevron ENGINE is a great partner because of its unwavering commitment to empowering communities through education and innovation helping bridge the digital divide and create opportunities for every child to thrive in a technology-driven world.

With Chevron ENGINE’s support, Pi Jam Foundation continues its mission to make technology education inclusive, hands-on, and transformative, empowering students to solve tomorrow’s challenges with creativity and compassion.

Here’s to many more classrooms alive with ideas, innovation, and hope.
