During the 2-day event, students assembled drones, simulation, and design software, and used them to launch PICO Satellites which will be used to observe various parameters in the earth’s atmosphere, like wind speed, UV Rays, GPS, Pressure, and Temperature. The selected students attended the virtual training sessions designed to help them understand satellite and drone technology before reaching Dehradun for the final leg of the project.
After the three-day orientation program that witnessed the participation of 5214 students across Uttarakhand, 135 students were selected to participate in the training program. The project was designed keeping the following objectives in mind:
To impart knowledge about satellites, drones, and space technology

Speaking about the project, Manoj Balachandran, Head, Corporate Social Responsibility, IBM India Pvt Ltd., said, “The SFGI program has been instrumental in breaking myths around STEM subjects and motivate young girls to opt for STEM careers in the future. While the team on the field takes regular sessions with students and teachers, there is a need to expose the students to advanced technology wherein they can participate, learn, and demonstrate their ability to prepare and launch projects which can be showcased at the national level and will thus hugely impact the confidence and curiosity of young students. Our program aims to bring this impact.”
STEM for Girls India’s (SFGI) vision is to prepare 2,00,000 high school girls, across multiple states, through a 3-year program to pursue and understand their potential in “New Collar” careers
Based on the performance and participation of the students in the virtual and in-person training sessions, 4 students were given golden pass for the upcoming rocket launch project by Space Zone India. These students will be travelling to Space Zone India headquarter for further training and participation in rocket launch event.
