Right from childhood, Vansh Tibrewal had a fondness for maths and science but his passion for the two subjects didn’t just stop there. He was eager to share it with the world, and make a difference while at it. Having noticed the fact that girls were not encouraged to venture into the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, popularly abbreviated as STEM, he decided to dedicate his work towards that area and in 2019, launch an initiative titled STEM Baala to help bridge the gender gap.
Along with his friends, the 16-year-old student at VIBGYOR High, Goregaon, has been conducting classes for unprivileged girls, helping them learn computers, math, English and science. A few weeks back, Tibrewal launched a book named after his initiative on the Amazon Kindle store to share the journeys of 20 Indian women in STEM — from Sudha Murthy, chairperson of the Infosys Foundation, to Nandini Harinath, rocket scientist at ISRO.
