Shillong: The North East Centre for Technology Application and Reach (NECTAR) recently conducted a one-day workshop for teachers on “STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics)—Mobilizing Science and Technology-Based Learning for Schools” in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), PUNE, and Smart Village Movement, Meghalaya, at St. Edmunds College, Shillong. A total of 100 teachers from various schools in Shillong and adjacent areas had participated in the workshop.
