Through global STEM initiatives, CGI provides students with hands-on learning experiences that increasingly incorporate emerging technologies. These initiatives nurture young talent, build pathways to future careers and strengthen digital inclusion, while deepening CGI Partner engagement in meaningful community impact.

Across the Czech Republic, the United States, India and the United Kingdom, four CGI-led projects demonstrate our commitment to inspiring young minds and developing emerging-technology skills among the next generation of innovators. Each program responds to the local community needs while contributing to long-term development and opportunity.

AI Code Camp summer internship program (Czech Republic)

For its second annual summer AI Code Camp, CGI in the Czech Republic selected six university students from a competitive pool of 50 applicants for paid, on-the-job training.

From July through August 2025, students tested AI-assisted programming capabilities on projects aimed at streamlining and optimizing client business processes. Guided by mentors from CGI’s Emerging Technologies team, the interns gained practical, industry-aligned experience with state-of-the-art AI methods and developed prototypes now under evaluation for integration into client solutions.

Following the program’s completion, four participants continue with extended internships, gaining further experience while contributing to CGI’s work in emerging technologies.

Summer STEM Camps (United States)

With a focus on nurturing future innovators, CGI in the U.S. partnered with local organizations to keep school students engaged and inspired during the May to August 2025 summer break.

Together, we delivered STEM camps centered on AI, cybersecurity and quantum computing. More than 500 students and 40 teachers benefitted from hands-on activities, including robot coding, programming and demonstrations—exposure many students may not otherwise encounter.

Our Summer of STEM community partners included the University of Louisiana at Lafayette; Junior Achievement of Greater Boston; EO Companies, Abingdon, Virginia; Junior ROTC, Troy, Alabama; Boys & Girls Club of the Tennessee Valley; Children’s Science Center Lab, Fairfax, Virginia; and Melwood Recreation Center in Nanjemoy, Maryland.

CGI Partners at all levels participated, from interns to Vice-Presidents, led educational sessions and connected with students, demonstrating our shared commitment to broadening access to STEM learning.

STEM Spark innovation program (India)

Our STEM SPARK program in India focuses on interactive, inquiry-based classroom learning and is delivered in partnership with Learning Links Foundation. The program funds 100 Atal Tinkering Laboratories (ATLs) at government schools located across the cities of Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad,  Mumbai and Pune.

Established under India’s Atal Innovation Mission, ATLs aim to foster curiosity, creativity and imagination by providing tools and equipment that support STEM learning.

Since its inception in 2019, STEM SPARK has reached more than 210,000 students. We provide funding and embed our technical expertise, volunteer engagement and industry perspectives directly into the learning experience. This approach differentiates our support by integrating real-world, industry-relevant applications.

In 2025, the initiative strengthened and expanded ATLs at each school, introducing AI-based learning and enhancing both digital and physical STEM environments. More than 600 CGI Partners contributed technical expertise and volunteer support, co-designing modules and mentoring students.

Deliverables included a digital platform with modules on robotics, AI, coding and design thinking, interactive guides for virtual prototyping, resource libraries, tools to monitor student progress, and teacher support materials.

Moon Camp challenge (United Kingdom)

As part of our broader involvement in the space sector and in STEM education, CGI in the UK supported the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) 2025 Moon Camp. As a sponsor working with partners across the space industry, we helped deliver an immersive experience for 200 students aged 9 to 11.

Students participated in hands-on activities in satellite communications, 3D design and science experiments. Working in teams, they developed lunar habitat concepts suited to space environments, considering the use of local resources and the need for functional living and working spaces for astronauts. Teams showcased their projects online and received participation certificates along with invitations to virtual events with ESA astronauts.

Advancing digital inclusion through STEM

Across these four regions, our STEM initiatives reached more than 184,700 students in 2025, equipping them with emerging-technology skills and inspiring long-term interest in STEM pathways. By combining our technical expertise, CGI Partner engagement and commitment to digital inclusion, we are helping cultivate the next generation of innovators who will shape a more sustainable and equitable future.
