The Discovery Science Center will provide underserved students with critical thinking, creativity and innovation skills. It will offer immersive, application-based learning experiences, supported by year-round interventions such as STEM clubs, competitions and workshops. Through these efforts, the initiative is expected to reach over 1,500 students annually, fostering curiosity, problem-solving abilities and early innovation skills. The launch expands HCLTech and Pearson’s strategic partnership to build skills through AI- powered technology. It also builds on a similar center in Noida, which has already brought hands-on STEM learning to underserved students. “Every student should have the opportunity to explore science and technology through hands-on-learning. This center gives students in underserved communities a place to explore, build skills and unlock what they can do. Through our work with the HCLFoundation, we’re focused on expanding access to quality learning where it is needed most,” said Vishaal Gupta, India Chair and President, Enterprise Learning & Skills at Pearson. “This partnership demonstrates what is possible when technology expertise, the science of learning and grassroots execution come together with a shared purpose. By strengthening digital learning ecosystems and embedding inclusion at the core, we are building pathways for the most underserved learners to access quality education and build skills for the future,” said Nidhi Pundhir, Senior Vice President and Global Head, CSR at HCLTech. Earlier this year, HCLFoundation and Pearson partnered to support 400 students in underserved communities by providing them with smart classrooms equipped with smart boards and laptops. To support inclusive and consistent learning, tailored assistive devices were provided to children with special needs, including those with visual impairments, helping them participate fully in the classroom. By extending support beyond classrooms to help children enroll in and stay in school, the initiative created a community-centric learning ecosystem that combines corporate expertise with on-ground impact.
