Established a non-profit institute with a mission to provide accessible, high-quality education in math and STEM to students of all backgrounds. From the ground up, I took on various roles to ensure the institute’s success, including organizing enrollments, promoting the institution, and conducting outreach to local schools. I spearheaded curriculum development, creating innovative learning materials inspired by methods used in U.S. universities.
Additionally, I trained teachers in using technology-based tools like GeoGebra, fostering a collaborative and hands-on learning environment. Through my dedication, the institute grew into a recognized center for continuing education, offering specialized programs for students and adults alike. Building this institute has been a passion and commitment to educational empowerment.
