STEM Day at Knoxville Tamil Sangam is a special event designed to inspire middle and high school students to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics through engaging activities, demonstrations, and discussions. The event aims to spark curiosity, encourage innovation, and introduce students to real-world STEM applications while connecting them with mentors and professionals from the community. 

STEM Workshop @ Nashville

I recently conducted my first STEM workshop for middle and high school students in collaboration with a wonderful nonprofit organization in Nashville. It was inspiring to see young minds curious and excited about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Grateful to Tennessee Tamil Sangam and everyone who made this event possible. Looking forward to many more opportunities to inspire the next generation in STEM.
