A SCIENCE IDEA THAT 'STEMMED' FROM TSUNAMI

For V Alexander, this calling emerged in the aftermath of the tsunami that struck Nagapattinam in 2004. Deployed by an NGO to provide computer education in two schools within the affected areas, he worked with children who lost their parents to the killer waves. That was a turning point for him to offer education services to the underprivileged students to make them capable enough to reclaim their place in society.

In September 2024, the 46-year-old man established a 'STEM ICT' lab at Sidhapudur Corporation Primary School in the city for the first time in corporation schools. To support his initiative, Appviewx and Experifun funded ₹5 lakh to establish the lab that was inaugurated by the corporation's mayor and commissioner on September 16. Alexander, programme manager of Hope Foundation, is working with a big dream of producing corporation school students as scientists in future.
