"At Kerala StartUp Mission, I worked on developing a STEM learning kit for middle school students. I also helped assemble an interactive tech sculpture. I learned a lot about writing curriculum and teaching, and my CAD skills improved a lot. I had never worked with the combination of art and engineering before, so I learned a lot. It also helped me learn skills that will complement my career and academic path that I might not have had a good opportunity to practice or learn otherwise."
