The Church Mission School, located in the heart of Karachi’s old city area, was buzzing with brilliant minds and novel ideas as they competed to forge sustainable solutions through innovative techniques in a district-level competition organized by STEAM Pakistan, a gender-transformative program of the Federal Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the STEAM Policy Unit, Sindh.
Students from several government schools in Karachi’s District South gathered on Saturday to take part in the ‘STEAM Muqablo,’ which uses the power of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics to cope with real-world difficulties via imagination, creativity, and hands-on skills. As Pakistan is overwhelmed by escalating environmental concerns and the need to develop sustainable ways to address them, the students took it upon themselves to use everyday objects to produce eco-friendly and eco-conscious solutions to address issues such as rising heat and recycling waste materials.Students’ innovations ranged from making beautiful and sustainable bags to inventing systems for cooling the atmosphere using both traditional and unconventional methods. They not only provided practical solutions but also hailed a new era of devoted creativity.
