With a vision to 'Cultivate one Million children in India as Neoteric Innovators', Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) under NITI Aayog is establishing Atal Tinkering Laboratories (ATLs) in schools across India. The Tinkering Lab mission has fuelled a nation-wide mass movement and is creating millions of youth innovators at the grass-roots.
Atal Tinkering Labs are dedicated works spaces of 1200-1500 square feet with do-it-yourself (DIY) kits on latest technologies like 3D Printers, Robotics, Internet of Things (IOT), Miniaturized electronics where students learn innovation skills and develop ideas that will go on to transform India. The lab activities are designed to spur the spark of creativity, and go beyond regular curriculum and textbook learning. The labs will let students explore skills of future such as design and computational thinking, adaptive learning and artificial intelligence.
