In less than 24 hours after Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar on March 13 (Wednesday) announced the setting up of Atal Tinkering Labs in 10 schools in the State capital, six schools have already signed up for the scheme.
The Minister, in response to a question posed by a student on fostering innovation at the school level during an interaction at NIMS Medicity on Wednesday, announced the establishment of Atal Tinkering Labs (ATLs) in 10 schools in the city initially. “This initiative is part of our broader effort to foster a spirit of curiosity and innovation at the school level, preparing students in Thiruvananthapuram for a rapidly evolving future,” he said.
The schools set to receive ATLs include Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Attukal; St Mary’s Higher Secondary School, Pattom; Alan Feldman Public School, Kazhakuttam; Victory VHSS, Olathanni; Government HSS, Balaramapuram; and Sree Chithira Thirunal Residential Central School, Kunnathukkal. These ATLs will be equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to support a hands-on learning environment.
