STEM School
A resilient pathway for Myanmar youth. Since the education crisis began, STEM School has offered accessible, future-focused learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, with the skills, support and purpose to shape a better future.
Who we are
STEM School is one of the academic faculties of Spring University Myanmar (SUM), set up in response to the nationwide education crisis that followed the 2021 military coup. We provide resilient, inclusive, high-quality STEM education to Myanmar youth, particularly those who are displaced, in exile or shut out of formal learning. As part of SUM's wider mission, we help learners follow academic and professional pathways in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and prepare them to become socially responsible problem-solvers who contribute to Myanmar's democratic and sustainable future.
To nurture a generation of innovative, creative and socially responsible STEM enthusiasts, shaped by both academic and industry training, who contribute to Myanmar's democratic future and drive sustainable development.
