Sriman Kota, the founder of Yuvabe
AVI USA is grateful for a beautiful gathering of friends for an afternoon tea in the garden, in Boston, MA, September 3 at Maya and Terry Balle’s residence. We met and talk to Sriman Kota, the founder of the creative Yuvabe Tech & Education group in Auroville.
Our hosts, Maya and Terry Balle, are longtime friends of Auroville, who have lent their support to many projects througout the years. We met old and new friends of Auroville.
Yuvabe is a unique initiative, a tech team focused on youth empowerment through education. It was founded by Sriman Kota, a senior tech and marketing specialist with extensive international experience with companies like IBM and Quilt.AI of Singapore. Sriman found his heart’s calling in Auroville and brought his skills to serve the educaation of the youth of Auroville and bioregion.
One of Yuvabe’s central initiatives is creating the STEAM Curriculum for local schools.
STEAM is a synthesis of STEM )Science, Tech, Engineering and Math with Art, where Yuvabe is designed creative applications for children to learn and apply their STEM skills.
Sriman is visiting the US and will be in Boston to meet and greet friends of Auroville, and chat about the creative education initiatives taking place in Auroville.
For those who want to know more about Yuvabe’s spearheading of programs like STEAM (STEM + Arts) and Mental Health Awareness, as well as high-level tech training and mentorships in Auroville please join us, Maya & Terry Balle, and other friends of Auroville, on Sunday afternoon!
