**ENTRY FOR STEM PROJECT CONTEST** --->Background: Why I want to win the contest Since childhood I have been involved in fishkeeping (actually when I was 4) which, led me to Biology. I live in Bangladesh, where the average wage of a person is a bit over 200$, which is why I have always known that I am much much privileged than that of many other students like me. But this has also led to the reason I cannot invest much into my STEM projects. One day, while browsing Facebook I saw that tissue culture aquarium plants were being imported from various parts of the world and being sold for a very steep price; something that led me to wonder, why doesn't Bangladesh produce it themselves? I found out that although tissue cultured banana plants were produced by government organizations, no one was able to produce plants commercially due to the steep price of the setup and chemicals required to do it. --->The Project: Finding a BETTER & COST EFFECTIVE SUBSTITUTE!! This led to me to work on minimizing the biggest cost, getting MS media (a.k.a. Murashige & Skooge). Currently I am working on methods and substitutes of the media, which gives the same result if not the same as MS media. I had talked to many of the lab Heads of some of the best agricultural Universities of Bangladesh, many of them have helped me supplying some of the ingredients I need for the research. The PROOF that I am working on this can be seen from the attachments I am sharing (but of course, these are not the current work I am doing but the drafts, of when I was first starting). I believe in the freedom of access to knowledge and resources, especially when that free access can help another person push the frontiers of research and knowledge ultimately. I hope you guys vote, not for me But for each and every single person who is deprived of such facilities. Thank you for reading!

Rishab Jain is hosting a Scholarship Deep Dive after some time. It seems it happens periodically. I'm still new to the Skool community. Is this open to anyone or is it part of a paid course? Would love if anyone could let me know.
