Ritu Jhaveri: CEO of Deschool on Reinventing STEM Education
Take a break, we’re on Smoko. This week, we’re joined by Ritu Jhaveri, CEO and co-founder of Deschool Online, Inc., an innovative education platform transforming the future of STEM learning. With over 12 years in STEM education, Ritu brings a wealth of experience and a bold vision for change.
In this episode, Ritu walks us through her transition from educator to entrepreneur and explains how Deschool connects students directly with STEM professionals to co-create curriculum and offer real-world, hands-on learning. Founded by women, Deschool is on a mission to make STEM more inclusive, accessible, and practical for all learners.
"We bring real-life STEM experts into classrooms because we’ve seen the gap firsthand." – Ritu Jhaveri
Ritu emphasizes the importance of breaking down gender and cultural stereotypes in education and advocates for a creative, critical-thinking approach to learning. Deschool’s programs are designed to empower students and prepare them for the growing demand for STEM talent—particularly as studies predict a shortage of professionals by 2030.
The episode also dives into how Deschool is uniquely positioned to close that gap through mentorship, project-based learning, and curriculum co-creation. Ritu reflects on the power of education reform to create a more dynamic, inclusive, and future-ready generation of STEM leaders.
