The Atal Tinkering Lab is a flagship initiative of the Atal Innovation Mission of NITI Aayog. It was set with the vision to ‘Cultivate one Million children in India as Neoteric Innovators’ by providing them with 21st century skills through self-learning. It intends to introduce children to the world of innovation and tinkering.
One such lab is established in Sri Prakash Vidyaniketan. Under this scheme, the institution provides a workspace for children to give shape to their ideas through hands on do-it-yourself mode. Students are provided with do-it-yourself kits and equipment on science, electronics, robotics, sensors, 30 printers with computers. Students of standard VI to XI are trained for 2 hours per week in Arduino programming and Scratch Coding by expert trainers.
