Who We Are
e-estidotmy is an initiative to bring science and maths closer to society. It is a portal to create innovative and curious minds among students by learning and appreciating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics topics (STEM). We hope to democratise science and make it part of everyone’s lifestyle and culture.
The portal is home to the latest STEM information and breakthroughs for students, teachers and the general public in an engaging and fun manner that will spark interest in fields that are thought to be complicated and boring.
Educators will find ideas for lesson plans, classroom activities and educational resources. Parents will feel empowered to have scientific discussions at home.
