{"title":"Brands|NextWaveSTEM","description":"\u003cp\u003eNextWaveSTEM® was born in Chicago as the brainchild of our founder, Udit Agarwal. While working as an IT analyst for Chicago Public Schools, Udit saw the need for excellent and easy-to-implement STEM education. He knew the importance of the education system and the economy at large to empower students with the 21st-century skills of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math as well as Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Innovation. Still, he didn’t see it being taught in a way that was fun for kids, while also meeting state and national standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Udit learned more and became more interested in robotics, he started researching how to bring robotics classes to schools.
