The All female-led Lunar Space Mission Founded by Dr.Srimathy Kesan, which empowers 12,000 girls from 108 countries across the World with FREE 120 hours of training on how to build satellite came to Australia in November 2024.
Sukruti Narayanan – Australian Ambassador and Global Head of Partnership of Mission ShakthiSAT has been recruiting girls between the age 14 and 18 in Australia from public schools, rural areas, First Nation girls, under-represented communities and we have 140 girls part of this Mission from Australia currently.
While this World’s first Mission with no monetary transactions involved, was seeking for support and a Foundation to run it, the love from local communities and non-technology organisations was heart warming. This Mission has failed to gather unstoppable momentum from students across Australia due to a decentralised system.
However, In order to bridge all the gaps that exist currently in schools, academia, industry, migrant engineers, experienced technologists, AIMERS Foundation has been launched as a Not-for-profit organisation registered in Australian Charities and Not for profit Commission
(ACNC). Though the Organisation was registered in 17 September 2025, the Launch was on 31st January 2026 as a hybrid event. This is Founded by Sukruti Narayanan serving as Founder and President of the Foundation.
AIMERS works on empowering communities of All ages through Artificial Intelligence, Media, Emerging Fields, Robotics and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics)/ Space Technology.
