Impact Programme
The ATL ‘Next Gen Innovators Programme’
Background:
Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), part of NITI Aayog, is the Honourable Government of India’s flagship initiative to create and promote a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship across the length and breadth of our country.
The Atal Tinkering Laboratories (ATL), is a pioneering initiative launched by AIM, with the vision to ‘Cultivate one Million children in India as Neoteric Innovators’. There are 10,000 operational ATLs across schools in India to foster creativity, and imagination in young minds.
EOSF was empaneled as a partner of AIM in order to scale the impact of ATLs in school.
The ATL Innovation Catalyst Programme is a pioneering intervention designed by EOSF for AIM with the following objectives
- Enable the ATL Teachers to inculcate ‘What it takes to be an Innovation Catalyst and Facilitator?’
- Train the teachers to inspire and inculcate the innovation mindsets, tools, skills and techniques to navigate an innovation journey end to end – from problem identification to design of the marketable solution.
- Enable the students and teachers with a curriculum centered around the Impact Innovation Methodology designed by EOSF. The Impact Innovation Methodology, along with the workbook, provides a simplified yet powerful set of tools to make innovation happen by-design.
EOSF, through the scale of this problem, has taken on the mission to mobilize 10 schools in each of the 739 districts of India to become Innovation Hubs impact primary and secondary students.
