Our Mission
Our mission is to promote research, development, workforce training, and technology commercialization. InSPIRE was made to address the lack of exposure and generate a desire to learn and create in the societal and scientific field across the world.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a common ground for individuals to learn and connect with one another, and encourage growth that will stimulate advancements in science, technology, and our economy.
Our Core Values
At InSPIRE we are driven to utilize our resources in science and technology to make an impact in our community.
We are defined by our values.
Collaboration: We are highly committed to shaping scientific progress for our current and future generations. In doing so, we will commit to join forces with field leading experts in science, our government, and like-minded organizations to create opportunities for engagement in our community.
Edu-training: We see education as a fundamental vehicle for growth. We are leveraging our resources to connect people within the community to train them in various fields of science and technology (with a greater emphasis on renewable energy), in order to create technical expertise in this important and underemployed field.
Opportunity: We understand our role in giving back to our community and the world at large. We are committed to cultivating engagement in science and technology for students and those who serve and protect us, connecting them to a network of resources.

Our Origin
Sponsored in part by Sivananthan Laboratories, InSPIRE was founded in 2012 by Dr. Sivananthan, the founder of Sivananthan Laboratories, Inc. with a focus on Solar and Renewable Energy. Since its start, InSPIRE has achieved community outreach by partnering with underprivileged schools, universities, and other non-profits to circulate information about STEM and emphasize the importance of renewable energies. Peer to Peer teaching was introduced to reinforce innovative education by allowing students to apply their knowledge to instruct others. InSPIRE has partnered with many organizations in the past such as UIC, Leave No Veteran Behind, and Naperville’s Alive Center for Teens to make successful impacts on the exposure of the importance of science in today’s world. The future of InSPIRE is evolving to encompass a larger audience and broaden the horizon on our goal to teach the importance of scientific progress.
