Karachi: The U.S. Mission in Pakistan, in partnership with Vanderbilt University (Tennessee, USA), has successfully completed the STEMpowered project, a $294,000 initiative aimed at strengthening STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education in Pakistan. The program collaborated with Sukkur IBA (SIBA) University and Beyond the Classroom Education to enhance teaching methods, research, and AI integration in classrooms. As part of the initiative, SIBA faculty participated in a week-long immersion program at Vanderbilt University, focusing on STEM pedagogy and practical classroom solutions. The program culminated in a four-day workshop hosted by the U.S. Consulate General in Karachi, in partnership with Vanderbilt’s Peabody College of Education and Human Development. The workshop brought together 30 Pakistani STEM educators, 11 SIBA faculty, four Peabody faculty, and 16 students for interactive sessions, presentations, and networking to foster ongoing collaboration.
