With a vision to foster innovation, research & development acumen & entrepreneurial
skills in our students, our school is a part of Atal Innovation Mission which aims
at establishing Atal Tinkering Laboratories (ATLs) in schools across India. The
objective of this scheme is to foster curiosity, creativity and imagination in young
minds; and inculcate skills such as design mindset, computational thinking, adaptive
learning, physical computing etc.
Key Features of ATL
ATL is a work space where young minds can give shape to their ideas through hands
on do-it-yourself mode; and learn innovation skills. Young children will get a chance
to work with tools and equipment to understand the concepts of STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math). ATL would contain educational and learning ‘do it yourself’
kits and equipment on – science, electronics, robotics, open source microcontroller
boards, sensors and 3D printers and computers. Other desirable facilities include
meeting rooms and video conferencing facility.
In order to foster inventiveness among students, ATL can conduct different activities
ranging from regional and national level competitions, exhibitions, workshops on
problem solving, designing and fabrication of products, lecture series etc. at periodic
intervals.
