What is STUDIO 5?
In line with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology’s Digital Youth Strategy, STUDIO 5 is mainly aimed at nurturing youth as digital learners by sharpening their 21st century learning skills, as they develop in an all-pervasive digital environment.
In fact, STUDIO 5 is envisaged as a community platform that offers technology and allied equipment support for hands-on learning opportunities. Here youth can develop their problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity and innovation skills. This will also develop young people’s knowledge of technology and help them to become future creators of technology

New England Invents
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, New England Invents (NEI) is the oldest organization in the U.S. dedicated to the support of independent inventors. NEI helps innovators learn how to turn a great idea into a patentable, manufacturable, commercial product.
NEI offers monthly educational seminars, in-person networking events, one-on-one consulting, and product pitch sessions. NEI’s mission is to foster inclusive innovation– specifically to democratize access to inventor education, patent ownership, and product commercialization.
NEI recently launched two key initiatives to support inclusive innovation. The first targets K-12 students, offering educational and mentorship programs to encourage young creators and inventors. The second initiative supports military veterans and their families, offering tailored programs to assist their transition into careers in independent inventing.
