Amazon, NMMC, LLF Expand STEM Access in Navi Mumbai
Amazon, NMMC, and LLF worked together to improve schools in Navi Mumbai.
They added smart classrooms, better sanitation, solar panels, and special STEM learning spaces.
They also launched a mobile program to teach AI skills.
This helps more students, especially those in less well-off schools, to learn important science and technology skills.
The project includes 47 schools and reaches over 12,500 students and 200 teachers.
Amazon also does other good work like planting trees, providing solar power, and giving meals to students.
Some people think it's great that companies help with education, while others worry about the influence of businesses in schools.
Amazon, NMMC, and LLF upgraded three schools in Navi Mumbai with smart classrooms, sanitation, solar panels, and STEM infrastructure.
The Al Skilling Initiative under the Mobile Think Big Space Van program was launched to expand STEM education access.
The project reaches over 12,500 students and 200 teachers across 47 schools.

The partnership aims to equip students with critical thinking skills and prepare them for a technology-driven world.
