Jadoo Nahin, Science Hai — Is Dafa Bahaar Mein
Pakistan’s science education crisis goes beyond outdated textbooks and rote learning. It’s a crisis of access, imagination, and belonging. Too many children grow up believing science isn’t for them, that it belongs only to a few. The Science Fuse Spring Fellowship 2026 aims to change that.
About Science Fuse
Science Fuse is a social enterprise working across Pakistan and the UK to make science learning equitable, joyful, and locally relevant. We design hands-on STEM programs, teacher trainings, and public science experiences that build Science Sarmaya (Science Capital) in children and young people. With support from partners such as Malala Fund, Acumen, and the British Council, we’ve reached 97,000+ children, 980 teachers, and 450 young people across Pakistan.
