SheSTEM 2024: Empowering Youth-Led Innovation for a Sustainable Future
Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) and the Swedish Embassy, in collaboration with Nordic partners like Innovation Norway, Innovation Centre Denmark, and Business Finland, successfully concluded SheSTEM 2024. This initiative, aimed at inspiring young innovators, celebrated the contributions of women in STEM fields and invited students from grades 6–12 across India to present innovative ideas on Battery Technology and Energy Storage (BEST) systems. The event was part of the India-Nordic BEST project, designed to foster sustainability through advancements in energy storage technologies.
The SheSTEM 2024 challenge encouraged students to create prototypes or concepts for energy storage solutions, submitted in a two-minute video format. Over 1,000 submissions were received, reflecting India’s youth’s creativity and problem-solving skills. These ideas showcased the future leaders of science, technology, and sustainability.
SheSTEM 2024 emphasized the power of collaboration in addressing global challenges. Swedish Ambassador to India, Jan Thesleff, highlighted the event’s role in inspiring the next generation of innovators, while Dr. Chintan Vaishnav, Mission Director of AIM, underscored the importance of involving students in solving pressing global issues like energy storage and sustainability.
Beyond a competition, SheSTEM 2024 served as a platform for students to engage with critical STEM topics and contribute to global sustainability. AIM continues to support the development of young minds into future leaders, innovators, and creators, ensuring their active role in shaping a sustainable, technology-driven world.
