Director of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras V. Kamakoti and founder-director of Aryabhatta Institute of Mathematical Sciences Sadagopan Rajesh have come up with a course to teach students to approach a problem from various angles.
Pravartak Technologies Foundation, a sec 8 company of IIT-Madras, offers the free four-module online course called ‘Out of the Box Thinking’. Anyone over the age of 10 in India or abroad can register for the course.
“Out of the Box Thinking involves solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be arrived at by using only traditional step-by-step logic,” Mr. Kamakoti said.
