The STEM Poiner project Kalat was launched properly from the District Coordination meeting with the Department of Education. The purpose of the visit was to introduce the Pakistan-U.S. Alumni Network (PUAN) small grant STEM Ponier project and obtain permission to work in the government school. Under the chairmanship of the district education officer, all education Officers of the district participated in the meeting including DOE (male, female), DDEO (Male, Female Kalat, and Mangochar) and ADEO ( Male, Female). All information about the PUAN and STEM project was presented to the participants by Miss Sumera Mehboob, the PUAN Almuni. The concept of STEM education was new to the participants, and they asked many questions about it. Four Government Girls’ Schools were selected for the PUAN STEM Poiner project and a formal letter of cooperation was sent to the heads of schools. The interesting part of this meeting was that 2 Education officers are PUAN Alumni, so they were able to connect and provide their special services to make the project a success.
