About the Organizers
STREAM 2025 is a joint project of MBN Foundation and DATANOVA, with volunteers from NAMAM (North American Malayalee & Associated Members) supporting the program's execution.
MBN Foundation
The MBN Foundation, established in 2017 by Madhavan B. Nair in New Jersey, USA, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting skill development among students and raising awareness for cancer prevention, particularly breast cancer . Believing that skill development is essential for holistic growth, the foundation conducts annual activities such as spelling and STEM competitions to enhance students' abilities and foster individual development .
DATANOVA
DataNova is a community-driven STEM research initiative led by Dr. Latha Nair,
a research scientist with a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and a PMP certification. With a strong background in biomedical research and a passion for mentoring, Dr. Nair founded DataNova to offer meaningful, mentor-guided research experiences to high school and undergraduate students. Students work closely with expert mentors on hands-on projects and present their findings in professional settings, gaining valuable academic and career-building skills.
