Turning curiosity into innovation.

At Stem A Chip, we believe that every child holds the potential to shape the future of technology.
Our mission is to make the world of electronics and chip design accessible, fun, and inspiring.

Stem A Chip was born from a heartfelt mission

to spark children’s love for science and technology.

Our Founder and CEO, Dr. Anu Asokan—an engineer, researcher, and devoted mom—knows firsthand the challenges of engaging young minds in STEM. After countless attempts to pique her daughter’s interest in electronics, Anu discovered that hands-on, interactive experiments were the key to making learning exciting and impactful.

That spark of inspiration grew into Stem A Chip.

Today, we are a team of five passionate women, each bringing unique skills and perspectives to our mission. From diverse professional backgrounds to shared experiences as mothers, this dynamic team fuels Stem A Chip with creativity, empathy, and determination. Together, we’re not just building a company; we’re building a community of young innovators ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow.

Our Mission

We’re on a mission to revolutionize STEM education - one workshop at a time.

Through hands-on electronics and chip design, we spark Creativity, Critical Thinking and Tech Fluency.

From building simple circuits to crafting their own mini projects, students gain real-world skills and the confidence to see themselves as future tech leaders.

Our Vision

We envision a world where every child has the tools, knowledge, and confidence to lead in a tech-driven future.

By making electronics and chip design approachable and engaging, we aim to inspire the next generation of learners, creators, and innovators empowering them to embrace their potential and innovate fearlessly.

Meet Dr. Anu Asokan

As a mother, Dr. Anu Asokan struggled to spark her own daughter's interest in technology, which led her to realize how fun, hands-on projects could make learning exciting. Inspired by this realization, she founded Stem A Chip to help children explore electronics and chip design in an easy and enjoyable way. She guides kids through a step-by-step journey, from building simple circuits to more advanced concepts. Along the way, they develop creativity, build confidence, and cultivate a passion for technology.
