STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) holds the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, but challenges like limited funding and outdated traditions often stand in the way.
Thanks to the support of the Caterpillar Foundation, along with NAAEE, Pratt & Whitney, RBPN, and Vestas, the ASA Foundation has been championing STEM education to open doors to brighter futures.
Our Caterpillar Foundation supported STEM programs in Batam and West Java have already reached over 61,000 boys and girls, equipping them with the skills they need to thrive in today’s world.
Through dynamic Training of Trainers (ToT) workshops, youth development activities, and innovative digital platforms, we’re not just teaching STEM - we’re inspiring a generation! Our programs focus on essential 21st-century skills like teamwork, creativity, and analytical thinking, all while promoting gender equality and encouraging parental involvement to help prevent school dropouts.
In an exciting new chapter, with the support of NAAEE and Pratt & Whitney, we’ve launched a ground-breaking E-STEM for Disabilities program in Jakarta, Indonesia. This initiative is empowering 50 disability school teachers and positively impacting the lives of over 5,000 students with disabilities, proving that STEM truly is for everyone!
