The wait is over!

It’s time to start the conversation.

We’re proud to present a platform that goes beyond being a stage for discussions on STEM.

It is a space where educators, policymakers, practitioners, communities, and other stakeholders come together to question, share, listen, and participate.

Because reimagining STEM education cannot happen through conversations alone. It happens when we turn conversations into ideas, ideas into action, and action into change.

We’re bringing different voices to one stage to explore one shared question:
What could STEM education look like if we reimagined it together?

12 December 2026
Save the date.

The conversation is about to begin.

Our teachers are our second parents...

This Teacher's Day, we asked our students what they love most about their teachers, and their answers are absolutely heartwarming.

They didn't talk about homework or exams. Instead, they talked about patience, the fun of doing projects together, and feeling genuinely loved.

Who was the teacher that believed in you and changed your life? Tag them in the comments or share this video to remind them of the impact they make every single day!

What happens when learning moves beyond the classroom?

For our MakerGhat Fellowship Cohort 2026–28, the first month was a mix of new experiences, unexpected challenges, and hands-on learning.

We sat down with our newest changemakers to hear about their first month on the ground. From tackling Arduino and robotics for the first time to collaborating, solving problems, and learning from one another, the training gave them more than new skills, it changed how they think about learning, making, and their role in the journey.

Hear directly from our fellows as they reflect on what surprised them, challenged them, and stayed with them.

The training may be over.

The real journey has just begun.

150 Hours. 68 Sessions. 3 Weeks. One shared mission.

This is how six Fellows from the MakerGhat Fellowship 2026–28 Cohort began their journey.

Over three intense weeks, they stepped far beyond their comfort zones. They built, questioned, collaborated, reflected, and challenged one another to discover what it truly means to be a MakerGhat Fellow and, more importantly, why they chose this path.

The biggest lesson wasn't about mastering circuits or design thinking.

It was about understanding people, learning how to work alongside students, schools, and local communities, and recognizing that meaningful change begins with listening, trust, and genuine relationships before solutions.

Now, our Fellows are stepping into classrooms and communities, where every conversation, every challenge, and every small breakthrough becomes an opportunity to learn alongside the people they serve.

Over the next two years, these Fellows will work closely with students, educators, and communities to nurture maker mindsets, inspire young innovators, and create meaningful, lasting impact.

Ever wondered what it truly takes to lead in the social impact space?

The development sector has no shortage of managers, but what it really needs are leaders. Leaders who can navigate complexity with strong technical expertise. Leaders who are not just enthusiastic about change, but who also bring deep empathy to the communities they work with.

The MakerGhat Fellowship was created to turn that vision into reality, bridging the gap between raw passion and meaningful impact.

Our training focuses on four essential pillars: Pedagogy, Technical Skills, Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E), and Community Building.

Whether you’re passionate about education, health, or sustainability, this is where your journey as a social entrepreneur begins.

Join the next cohort of changemakers.

“I thought this would be just another training.”

This is not training where you sit and listen.
This is where you unlearn, experiment, and figure things out on the go. You are building, failing, and trying again...

Every session pushes you to think differently.
About classrooms. About students. About yourself.

🎥 This is what Sudipto, a MakerGhat Fellow has to say about what the training actually feels like.
