North South University (NSU) and STEMX365 have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on space education and research. MoU was signed by North South University vice chancellor Abdul Hannan Chowdhury and STEMX365 founder Mizanul Chowdhury. STEMX365 founded by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) space scientist Mizanul Chowdhury is a non-profit organization that provides free space science and technology education for Bangladeshi youth through an agreement with Japan’s JAXA.
STEMX365 works in collaboration with MIT’s Zero Robotics Lab, allowing talented young people to learn programming, space, robot building and participate in international competitions. In 2021, Bangladesh won second place in the international Kibo Robotics Programming Competition under STEMX365’s supervision. MoU aims to support NSU students in space education and research.
