Oakridge Bengaluru Student Shines At MIT STEAM Week

Sachit Shastri, a DP1 student from Oakridge International School Bengaluru represented the school at the Nord Anglia Education (NAE) STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) Week at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Along with 65 peers from NAE schools worldwide, Sachit had the opportunity to engage with MIT professors, graduate and undergraduate students in hands-on research activities.

During his time at MIT, Sachit collaborated with a diverse group of students on an innovative camera mount project designed for studying the northern lights in extreme and cold environments. The project provided a unique platform for Sachit to learn from some of the brightest minds in STEAM.

The MIT-Nord Anglia STEAM Programme enables students to experience a university-inspired approach to learn STEAM subjects. Students learn from MIT researchers, scientists and experts at the forefront of these fields, as well as taking a hands-on approach to problem solving through In-School and online STEAM challenges; NAE STEAM week @ MIT; and professional development of teachers.
