ISF Robotics is the current project to provide underprivileged children in impoverished areas of Nepal with education in the form of robotics to ignite their curiosity, creativity, and potential for brighter futures for themselves and those around them.

The Vision

We plan to teach them

  • Fundamentals of the engineering design process

  • Fundamentals of programming

  • Solve real-world problems through innovation

  • Soft skills that include teamwork, critical thinking, and leadership

Impact

By introducing STEM and robotics to underprivileged children in Nepal, we hope to


  • Inspire future innovators - We hope to inspire a generation of curious and creative minds passionate about improving and advancing the world

  • Access to Educational Opportunities - We will provide quality education on STEM and robotics to expose them to a wide variety of future career paths

  • Community development - By involving parents and community leaders in the pursuit of STEM education, we can strengthen the community to foster innovation and education

  • Sustainability - By exposing the community to STEM education, we hope to lay a foundation for educational development

  • Gender Equality - By encouraging girls, who are still the least educated population, to participate and pursue STEM fields and education, we can hope to break down gender barriers and foster equality

The Plan

  • Utilize LEGO Spike Prime Robots to provide a simple and effective way  for hands-on learning

  • Establish FIRST Lego League (FLL) teams in Nepal through the FIRST organization through which the children can immerse themselves in STEM education with practical experiences

  • Engage them in complex problem-solving through designing, engineering, and programming the Spike Prime robot to complete tasks on the FLL game field

  • Foster Innovation by challenging them to identify a specific problem in their community and solve it innovatively. They will then organize their project into a compelling presentation for FLL judges

C ovid-19 is still the biggest challenge for human beings because it's still on the spike despite the various efforts by public health scientists. Not only the Americas are facing the spikes but the Asian nations too. We all have been eying for better and affordable treatments for more than a year, but we are still disappointed. The world leader and the scientists are claiming about the vaccines and their effectiveness however, these are only in the news, which has been helping only the stock markets scaling up not the sufferers.

ISF COVID-19 Help 2021

The pandemic has yet not let people breathe normally in Nepal. The double mutant Covid-19 forced the Nepal government to lock the nation for the second time from  April 29, 2021 . The lockdown has helped prevent the spread of the disease, but it has caused a hunger crisis in the people who live on daily wages. Science says that to make your immunity strong, you need to consume a nutritious diet, but people living on daily wages suffer from hunger. Then how they are supposed to develop immunity to fight the disease.   Indu Sah Foundation empathizes with those and offers help in every crisis. ISF helped more than a hundred families in 2020 and continues to help.  This time, ISF helped a whole small village named Sukhainiya, located in the rural Mahottari district of Nepal with foods for a month with the support of NepalMed. ISF appreciates them for extending their help. On June 12, 2021, ISF Volunteers distributed foods that included Rice, Daal, Potato, Salt, Oil, Soyabean, Beaten Rice,
