November 16: <\/strong>In a first of its kind occurrence, around 1.5 lakh students from more than 5000 schools from India in the Atal Tinkering Labs programme of the Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog took part in a unique mega tinkering activity on the occasion of Children’s day, on Nov 14. Several schools from the length and breadth of the country along with their students, ATL in-charges, principals, mentors, AIM team, and partners participated in the event virtually from their respective ATLs. In this event, participating students all across India built an innovation project together in one of the largest ever global tinkering events done collectively in a single day.<\/p>\n

With a vision to \u2018Cultivate one Million children in India as Neoteric Innovators\u2019, Atal Innovation Mission is establishing Atal Tinkering Laboratories (ATLs) in schools across India. Recently AIM has achieved the objective of establishing more than 10,000 ATLs in schools across India with an objective to foster curiosity, creativity, and imagination in young minds; and inculcate skills such as design mindset, computational thinking, adaptive learning, physical computing etc.<\/p>\n

Ms. Deepali Upadhayay, Program Director, AIM started the event by congratulating all students on the occasion of Children\u2019s Day and establishment of 10000 ATLs across schools of India.\u00a0 As part of the event students were explained the scientific concept behind the activity and demonstrated the steps for building the hand-held fan using equipment from the ATL. This activity was aimed at developing the attitude and aptitude to experiment and tinker amongst young students. These students were invited to participate in a contest where they will share pictures and videos of the tinkering activity done in their schools.<\/p>\n

ATL students across the country have been ambassadors of the tinkering movement and have used their creative energies to make better versions of the hand-held fans. They also modified it to incorporate 3D printing in it. Some students also took it to the next level by designing complex robots and drones. ATL has been a front runner in helping with infrastructure and technical know-how of these innovation projects in schools.<\/p>\n

Ankush, from Aditya Vidyashram School, Puducherry and Sufeenah from Green Valley School, Srinagar said \u201cIt was great being a part of this mega tinkering event and building the project together with other ATLs. We thank the entire AIM team for organizing this activity\u201d.<\/p>\n

Famous Bollywood actor Sharman Joshi also congratulated the students via a video message saying that \u201cThis scale of a tinkering activity hasn\u2019t been done before and paves the way for acceleration of the tinkering movement in India\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dr. Chintan Vaishnav Mission Director AIM in his message shared his remembrances from the first time he did such a tinkering activity as a child and said that \u201cChildren in today\u2019s age have the tools and resources which were not available earlier. This event truly exhibited the \u2018spirit of making\u2019 in taking India to greater heights\u201d.
