Shell India Unveils AI-Driven EdTech Initiatives To Enhance STEM Education

Shell India has announced the launch of new EdTech initiatives, aimed at providing the next generation a strong foundation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education. The programmes use advanced digital learning tools and leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data analytics to identify individual learning gaps and provide customised learning interventions. Developed in collaboration with Pratham Infotech Foundation, Education Initiatives and Khan Academy, the new initiatives build on the success of Shell's global flagship programme, NXplorers, which is implemented by Learning Links Foundation and Smile Foundation and has benefitted over 3 lakh students across India.  

In the coming years, these programmes will be implemented in multiple schools across Delhi NCR, Karnataka and Maharashtra. Comprehensive teacher training will accompany these efforts to create a dynamic and personalised learning environment, enabling students to overcome foundational learning gaps and gain access to advanced STEM skills. 

Shell India will further expand its ongoing NXplorers programme, which aims to enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students. Building on the successful pilot in partnership with Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), NITI Aayog, the programmes will now scale to more schools over the next three years.
