As a program of the Muthusami Paravel Foundation, Orion STEM PDI is a US-based nonprofit committed to guiding high-achieving and gifted learners of all income levels toward opportunity, purpose, and impact. Through scholarships and partnerships—including Orion STEM Schools, Dr. Rubin’s Mini Medical School, and Khan Academy—we ensure that passion, not privilege, determines a child’s future.

At Orion STEM Schools, we provide enriching, real-world, project-based learning that goes far beyond textbooks. Students don’t just absorb content—they solve problems, design solutions, and lead with confidence. Khan Academy supports our learners with the foundational skill-building needed to thrive in advanced enrichment.

Our unique model is rooted in Problem-Based Experiential Learning (PBEL), Human-Centered Design, and Disciplined Entrepreneurship—blending rigorous academics with hands-on exploration and real-world impact.

We offer cutting-edge enrichment in fields such as:

• Medical Science
• Entrepreneurship
• Data Science
• Artificial Intelligence
  ... and more—delivered online, globally accessible, and built to inspire.

At Orion STEM PDI, students go beyond academics. They:

• Explore diverse fields to uncover passions and strengths
• Solve real-world challenges with creativity and courage
• Develop a growth mindset through trial, reflection, and iteration
• Build meaningful connections with mentors and like-minded peers
• Turn ideas into action—and make learning joyful along the way

For bright minds eager to reach beyond perceived limits, Orion STEM PDI is a launchpad to innovation, leadership, and lifelong learning—supported by a deep commitment to equity, excellence, and global collaboration.

If you're ready to ignite your spark, I invite you to join us.
