The US Consulate General in Karachi collaborated with The Dawood Foundation’s (TDF) MagnifiScience Centre, the implementing partner, to facilitate this programme in 50 schools across the city.
The primary objective of this grant was to stimulate an increase in STEM education and encourage schools in Karachi to allocate more resources toward training their staff, thereby enhancing learning outcomes. The aim is to motivate students to pursue careers in science-related fields, meeting the growing demand for STEM graduates in industry, academia, and research.
