Mizanul Hoq Chowdhury
Mizanul Hoq Chowdhury is a visionary entrepreneur, educator, and the founder of STEMX365, an organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering young minds in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Through his leadership, STEMX365 has become a platform for fostering innovation, creativity, and scientific exploration among students across the globe.
Early Life and Education
Mizanul Hoq Chowdhury was born and raised in Bangladesh, where he developed a passion for education, technology, and creativity from a young age. He attended Dhanmondi Government Boys' High School and later Notre Dame College, two of the most prestigious educational institutions in Bangladesh. He then pursued a degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), one of the top engineering universities in the country.
From childhood, Mizanul exhibited a remarkable talent for building and creating. He believed in self-dependency and often built everything himself, starting with home furniture. He never asked his parents to buy anything for him, not even a home tutor. His creativity and ingenuity led him to build a wide range of projects, including telescopes, microscopes, toy trains, buses, houses, and even a "three-in-one" device. This hands-on experience laid the foundation for his future career in engineering and innovation.
In 1991, Mizanul moved to the United States to pursue higher education. He earned his Master's degree in Natural Gas Engineering from Texas A&M University-Kingsville. His journey to the U.S. was facilitated by Dr. Faleh T. Al-Saadoon, a renowned oil and gas consultant in the Middle East and a senior professor at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. Dr. Al-Saadoon, who had visited Bangladesh between 1986 and 1990, was impressed by Mizanul's paintings and encouraged him to move to the U.S. to further develop his artistic and academic talents.
From a young age, Mizanul was also an accomplished painter. He enjoyed creating landscapes, abstract art, watercolor paintings, and sculptures. His artistic abilities not only complemented his technical skills but also reflected his unique perspective on creativity and problem-solving.
Career and Achievements
Mizanul's career is marked by his commitment to bridging the gap between education and technology. Recognizing the transformative potential of STEM education, he founded STEMX365 to provide students with opportunities to engage in real-world scientific challenges, including space exploration and cutting-edge research.
Under his leadership, STEMX365 has collaborated with global organizations such as the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to enable students to propose and conduct experiments on the International Space Station (ISS). One notable achievement was the selection of Zakia Sultana, a young Bangladeshi student, to have her experiment conducted aboard the ISS—an inspiring milestone for STEMX365 and its mission.
Mizanul's work has not only empowered students but also inspired educators and policymakers to prioritize STEM education as a tool for innovation and development.
