NEW DELHI, DEC 04, 2024: ATAL Innovation Mission (AIM), under the NITI Aayog and the Office of Science & Innovation, at the Embassy of Sweden, in partnership with Nordic collaborators - Innovation Norway, Innovation Centre Denmark, and Business Finland, are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of SheSTEM 2024. This annual initiative celebrates the contributions of women in STEM and serves as a catalyst to inspire the next generation of innovators by encouraging young minds to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

The SheSTEM 2024 challenge invited students from grades 6–12 across India to submit innovative ideas focused on Battery Technology and Energy Storage (BEST) systems. Part of the India-Nordic BEST project, the challenge aims to foster sustainability by advancing energy solutions. Participants were tasked with presenting their prototypes or concepts for energy storage and sustainability in a two-minute video format. The competition received an exceptional response, with over 1000 submissions demonstrating the creativity, problem-solving skills, and forward-thinking mindset of India's youth. The ideas presented showcased the tremendous potential of young innovators who are poised to take on leadership roles in sustainability, technology, and science.

More than just a competition, SheSTEM 2024 provided a platform for students to engage with critical STEM topics and contribute to global sustainability efforts. The event highlighted the importance of collaboration and teamwork, underscoring the power of collective innovation in addressing today's challenges.

Ambassador of Sweden to India, Jan Thesleff expressed his views on the impact of SheSTEM 2024, saying, "Innovation and collaboration are at the core of a sustainable world, a world working hard to preserve itself. SheSTEM 2024 is a step in the right direction to help inspire the next generation to innovate and create solutions for energy storage and technologies. I am delighted that this year, the SheSTEM challenge is part of the India-Nordic Battery and Energy Storage Technologies project, bringing together the Nordic partners to explore areas of partnership with India across academia, business, and government."

Mission Director, Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), Dr. Chintan Vaishnav emphasised the significance of the event, stating, "AIM is proud to be a part of SheSTEM 2024, a celebration of young talent, innovation, and the boundless potential of India's students. This year's challenge, focusing on energy storage and sustainability, directly addresses some of the most pressing global challenges. By involving students in this field, we are not only fostering future STEM leaders but also empowering them to play a significant role in shaping a sustainable and technology-driven world."

The success of SheSTEM 2024 highlights the incredible potential of youth-led innovation and the pivotal role that STEM education plays in building a sustainable future. The event has provided a valuable platform for young minds to showcase their ingenuity, and AIM remains committed to supporting and empowering the next generation of thinkers, creators, and leaders.
