This was the week where this idea of ours started to become real. Our initial plan was basically to somehow get schools to do their own hands on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programs. The idea came during our time being a part of an amazing organisation called Robogals. However being uni students our time is very limited and it’s not always easy for us to go out to schools and run the programs ourselves so we want to be able to give schools the resources to run similar programs themselves and to encourage all of STEM instead of just engineering.
Rahul sat down with us to establish our core purpose and core values of why we want to do this and what was important to us. Rahul loved to do scenarios and what if’s, so this time he made us picture ourselves in a movie where it was about a world without STEM. He asked us: How did it look? What is everyone like? Who is the main character of this movie? How would this movie progress? How will it end? It was a surprisingly hard task for us and we just kept shooting out words that didn’t actually mean anything. The words warm, curious, discover, STEM were thrown out quite often, not to mention a lot of weird looks at each other…
After about 30 minutes of back and fourth word vomit and questioning everything we said, Rahul, the master wordsmith, helped us put all our words into a sentence which summarises perfectly what we’re hoping to achieve out of this and is our core purpose today:
“To live in a world that is forever curious and everyone gets to experience the joy of discovery”
