ISF Robotics

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

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...
