The Pathways: STEM Workshop Series is an immersive, hands-on learning initiative focused on Arduino robotics and the Green Innovators theme, created to ignite curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills among young learners. Organized by Lok Sahaita in collaboration with NED University of Engineering & Technology, the workshops brought students from IBA Public School Sukkur and Pakistan Sweet Home Sukkur to Karachi for a transformative learning experience at the Asma M. Hashmi STEM Center, NED University. Throughout the day, students worked intensively with circuits and Arduino kits, experimenting, coding, and building functional prototypes that addressed real-world challenges with a sustainability-driven approach. Supported by expert faculty and mentors from NED University, students were given the opportunity to truly prove their abilities, apply their knowledge, and work collaboratively as innovators.

Upon completion of the prototypes, each team’s project was thoroughly inspected and evaluated by the Chairperson of Lok Sahaita, Pir Muhammad Shah, and the Vice Chancellor of NED University, Dr. Noman. Their detailed review and interaction with the students further motivated the participants and highlighted the importance of innovation, clarity of thought, and practical application. Winning teams were awarded medals in recognition of their outstanding performance, while all participating students received certificates, acknowledging their dedication, effort, and successful completion of the workshop making the Pathways: STEM Workshop Series a proud platform for learning, recognition, and future-ready inspiration.
