HONORING ARMAN ROY:
Arman Roy’s birthday on March 24 serves as the inspiration for this annual event. Arman, who recognized the value of digital exploration, is remembered through the foundation’s commitment to providing STEM opportunities.
The Foundation’s Chairman, Founder, and Arman’s mother, Manisha Roy, emphasized, “Arman knew how fortunate he was to have boundless resources to explore and enjoy the beauty of our digital world. This event, which is being organized by our foundation’s youth volunteers, is a way to honor his legacy by sharing the gift of STEM with everyone in celebration of Arman’s birthday and his spirit of caring.”
WHY STEM MATTERS:
The STEM Fun For Everyone event is not just about fun – it’s about opening doors to a bright future. STEM and computer science, in particular, are crucial in today’s world. 71% of all US jobs require digital skills, and high-skilled computing occupations are the fastest-growing sector. Unfortunately, many students from low-income or underrepresented groups lack access to 21st-century educational programs. The Arman Roy Foundation aims to bridge this gap by making STEM accessible and enjoyable for all.
