Hriday Boriawala

I am a part of the G-force community and was a part of Team G-force in 2022 and 2023, which participated in and won multiple awards at the FIRST Tech Challenge. G-Force organised a STEM outreach program in Dharavi, the largest slum settlement in India, intending to foster interest in STEM among underprivileged students. The initiative introduced basic STEM concepts through engaging workshops and hands-on projects, such as building simple circuits and coding exercises. We raised about 10.5 lakhs through crowd-funding pages such as Ketto.org and set up a stem lab at their school SSRVM. We also selected a few students and formed a team called Dharavi Dynamites, which participated in the FIRST Tech Challenge.
