"We’re excited to join forces with ELGi, an engineering-driven company that shares our values and vision for a future where all children have equal access to educational opportunities,” said Piper Barnes, Development Director at Digi-Bridge. “Together, we look forward to expanding our efforts and impacting more children.”

“At ELGi, we believe in fostering development and growth via special focus community outreach programs that engender a transformative effect on those that truly need it. Our partnership with Digi-Bridge will provide children in the Charlotte area with fascinating and enjoyable experiences to stimulate their intellectual curiosity in STEAM subjects. STEAM education is proven to create critical thinkers who will form the next generation of innovators,” said Anvar Varadaraj, Executive Director Elgi Equipments.

Going forward, ELGi plans to expand its collaboration with Digi-Bridge by offering mentorship opportunities to students and organising hands-on workshops. These initiatives aim to bridge the gap between students' academic knowledge and real-world scenarios. Furthermore, ELGi plans to host field trips to its Charlotte, North America office, enabling students to experience a modern workplace and interact with industry professionals.

Launched in 2014, Digi-Bridge has provided technology-based, hands-on STEAM experiences to more than 17,000 students. The organisation accomplishes this through STEAM and robotic programming with various schools and community partners.
