Background

UniversitasSiswaBangsaInternasional (USBI) is an initiative of the PuteraSampoerna Foundation (PSF) whose vision is to become a sustainable, internationally-recognized university, inspired by the philosophy of the PuteraSampoerna Foundation, which will help to build a better future for Indonesia. Its mission is to educate future leaders who possess the distinctive USBI characteristics of leadership, entrepreneurship, and social responsibility, and are committed to giving back to Indonesian society through a lifelong engagement with the work of the PuteraSampoerna Foundation.

 

USBI has been running the three-year SMART LAB project funded by USAID. The SMART Labproject aims to establish four models of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)senior secondary schools and nest them as nodes in larger linked networks of partner schools working to improve their own STEM programming. It also aims to train 500 STEM teachers over the next three years who are able to prepare and inspire 10,000 students through individual and group experiences outside the classroom, and create a dynamic networks of partners and system engaged in a spectrum of knowledge discovery and transfer, development of sustainable feedback loops that advance the STEM agenda, and improve educator STEM literacy.
