AMMACHI Labs Conducts Teacher Training Program in Trichy Ahead of Year-Long School STEM Initiative

As part of the pre-launch activities for the 2nd Foundation Year Long School STEM Program, AMMACHI Labs successfully conducted a four-day Teacher Training Program at Amrita Vidyalayam, Trichy.

The training program marks the first major preparatory milestone for the Year-Long School STEM Program, which is scheduled to be implemented across ten schools in Tamil Nadu. Designed to equip educators with the knowledge, tools, and confidence required for effective STEM education delivery, the program brought together teachers for an intensive and hands-on learning experience. During the four-day training, participating teachers engaged in interactive sessions covering key aspects of program implementation, including STEM activity facilitation, curriculum delivery, Learning Management System (LMS) usage, monitoring and evaluation processes, and classroom readiness strategies.

Training Focus Areas

• STEM Activity Facilitation
• Curriculum Implementation
• Learning Management System (LMS) Usage
• Monitoring & Evaluation Processes
• Classroom Readiness Strategies

Through practical demonstrations, collaborative exercises, and experiential learning activities, educators explored innovative approaches to fostering inquiry, experimentation, creativity, and critical problem-solving skills within the classroom environment. The sessions emphasized activity-based learning methodologies that encourage students to actively engage with scientific concepts and real-world challenges. The initiative aims to establish a sustainable STEM learning ecosystem where students can participate in hands-on, inquiry-driven educational experiences throughout the academic year. By integrating STEM activities into regular classroom practices, the program seeks to nurture curiosity, innovation, and analytical thinking among young learners. The Year-Long School STEM Program aligns closely with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4: Quality Education, by strengthening teacher capacity and promoting experiential STEM learning; SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, by encouraging innovation and problem-solving skills among students; and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, by fostering meaningful collaboration between schools, educators, and communities.

AMMACHI Labs expressed its appreciation to all participating teachers, school leadership teams, and coordinators for their enthusiastic involvement and commitment to advancing STEM education. Their active participation and support have laid a strong foundation for the successful implementation of the program across Tamil Nadu schools in the coming academic year.
