Atal Tinkering Labs is an initiative by NITI Aayog to facilitate K12 students with the modern education system. It enables K12 students to explore and experiment, learn and develop different scientific concepts and ideas.
Atal Tinkering Labs stimulates the students to apply the knowledge in a practical way. Similar to the DIY concept, it is enabling students to learn the real-life application of the theories and a natural inclination towards STEM education.
With Globalisation, technological advancement, and automation. Many conventional job categories are being discarded, at this point. A rethought and reformed education system is the demand of the hour.
Atal Tinkering Labs has developed and executed an effective STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) program, designed to the needs of the future sector.
The demand and requirement for STEM jobs are ever-increasing. The next decade is of and for science professionals, a better understanding of math and science is requisite.
For the young students, this experience has turned out to be an enjoyable sense of learning. Curious minds are allowed to empathise, ideate, experiment and take risks. The young students get an opportunity to test and trust their skills while learning new skills.
The creative experience and the tinkering are helping them to transform their ideas into reality. The students are equipped with the required tools and are given a positive and productive environment to let their curiosity flourish.
With the digital revolution and everything getting online, students are curious to innovate something new. Most scientific innovations happen when different theories are blended together in a meaningful and output-oriented way.
ISRO, a world-leading space agency has announced that it will adopt 100 Atal Tinkering Labs across the country for mentorship and promoting STEM and Space Education. ISRO will also provide a platform for interaction and engagement with STEM leaders.
Such an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset in a school environment will allow all students to learn and develop their own style.
NITI Aayog through Atal Innovation Mission has successfully established over seven thousand ATLs across the country. This helps and enables more than 3 million students between classes six to 12 to get benefitted from ATLs modern education system.
ALL of the ATLs across the country comes equipped with an inventory of educational and learning equipment to facilitate STEM learning like science, sensors, electronics, robotics, open-source microcontroller boards, and 3D printers etc.
In the future prospect, these encouragements can take the students to higher levels. The initiative is dedicated to supplying the country with problem-solving entrepreneurs. These entrepreneurs will nourish and shape a flourishing future for the country.
