“The process of building new things and creating a new solution is full of failure and requires a lot of grits and resilience, both the skills we need to instill to our children.
Therefore, it is important for us to provide safe space for children, Especially girls, to take risks and help them build tribes where they can brainstorm ideas and think outside the box, “said Pooja Goyal, COO, and Co-Founder, Avishkaar, in a statement.
“The next important step is gender neutrality, where not every girl must pursue a stem career, but children who are really good at it and have interest in the field must have the opportunity to do that,” he added.
