The students are equipped with Do it Yourself kits. These kits are a gift box that has many brilliant surprises to unveil. The students are introduced to the latest technology of AI, 3D printing technology etc. He said that these labs do not give the children marks, but they give them an unlimited joy to unleash a new world of creation.
With this, he also emphasized that this is the era where we have the facilities like sending the message with a click of the mouse and visiting any place around the globe in few hours. He termed this era as the Golden Age. However, he made us realize the importance of integrating Technology with Sustainability. He affirmed that indeed if any start-up which integrates these two components comes up, will definitely yield fruitful results.
To conclude he gave a constructive message that Nothing is far from the truth, no one is a born Innovator, one just needs to break the barriers created by our mind and rediscover the latent
potentials within ourselves. He added that this is important to achieve the 5 pillars of Development as stated by honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The session concluded by responding to the brainstorming and thoughtful questions asked by the students.
