We are a purpose-driven company founded and led by Nepalese STEM Leaders based in foreign countries like the USA, UK, Australia, Japan, and Korea.
We have partnered with PlayShifu, the leading AR STEM-based company offering a variety of immersive, educational kits that connect the physical and digital worlds. The learning experiences are specially designed for kids ages 2 to 12 years and build foundational, STEAM skills through fun.
We are also in partnership with Code Monkey; the #1 global education company for coding programs. Through its award-winning courses, millions of students learn how to code in real programming languages. CodeMonkey offers an engaging and enjoyable curriculum for schools, after-school clubs, and camps as well as self-paced online courses to learn coding at home. Exposing students of grades K.G to 9 (6 to 14 years old) to coding can help them develop creativity, critical thinking ability, and real-life problem-solving techniques.
We also provide training for teachers and students on STEM empowerment, SMART Schools, and Training of Trainers (ToT) Workshops to transform our schools into 21st-century Skills Empowered Centre which provides our students with future skills and global citizenship.
Employment in STEM occupations is projected to grow 8.8% by 2028.
Non-STEM occupations will only grow 5%.
The focus on logical thought processes and problem-solving allows
students and professionals to develop mental habits that will help them succeed in any field.
STEM courses often involve hands-on projects. In the process of STEM education, students and professionals learn teamwork, project management skills, and many more.

Economic and social progress is tightly connected to the environment. We need to work our way to a sustainable future. It is possible to accomplish only with STEM skills, experiences, and a multi-disciplinary approach.
I came to the United States in 2010 to pursue my PhD degree in Science (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology). My journey from an underdeveloped country, like Nepal, to one of the most prosperous nations to pursue a career in science has provided me an opportunity to fully experience and acknowledge the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education in personal, national, and global growth and prosperity. Had I not been taught the fundamentals of science & research and its importance while I was in my school/college, I could not even imagine doing what I do currently (Cancer research using cutting-edge tools and technologies).
My prior education in STEM provided me the skills to adapt and succeed in this increasingly complex, changing, technological world, although I had my own struggles because of the expected knowledge gap.
It’s now or never! No child’s geographic location or country of birth should solely determine their STEM literacy and their future. We must also make sure that, no matter where children live, they have access to quality learning opportunities. With a deep understanding of this need in mind, I had long been looking for the right opportunity to become a relevant part of such a broader mission and make a meaningful and ever-lasting contribution to the education sector in Nepal. While meticulously looking for this opportunity, I came across Nepal STEM Alliance’s ambitious mission of “re-inventing education for NEPAL.”
Knowing the visionary leadership team for more than a decade and having faith in their mission, I have joined hands with NSA to share my knowledge and expertise to achieve our common mission to educate and empower future generations by providing top-class STEM education. I am honored to be a part (stakeholder) of the Nepal STEM Alliance team.

I work as a Data Engineer for the biggest Defence contracting company in the world. I grew up in Nepal, did a BSc in 2007 and arrived back to my birth island to finish dance of computer literacy; data, coding and automating to be specific.
I went on to complete my Bachelors in Computer Information System and joined the US Army right upon graduation. The goal was to develop leadership skills, real world problem solving traits and professional behaviour in a high paced work environment.
Once I acquired both academic knowledge and real world experience, I wanted to take my skills further and therefore I pursued a Masters in science in Data Analytics. Coming from an underdeveloped country where education was not top quality at the time, achieving what I achieved was very difficult. If I could go back and change a few things I would knock on doors sooner and ask for help instead of struggling to figure things out. It would help build a strong base for my future studies and would provide an upper hand in this competitive world.
I considered myself very privileged to be part of this new initiative in Nepal that focuses on children’s learning in the their early stage of life. This will not only provide them with a platform to learn and grow but also put them shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the developed world.
Success possibilities will be endless for every upcoming and growing kid in Nepal. I am dedicated to serve this company wholeheartedly by providing children’s knowledge about emerging technologies and engineering. We as an entire nation including teachers must suggest and adapt every Technological change that comes our way in future, we are prepared and ready to reshape the education industry in Nepal.
