The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) will adopt 100 Atal Tinkering Labs (ATLs) across the country.

In this regard, the Department of Space (DOS) and Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog has announced that out of 100 ATLs, Isro has adopted 45 in phase 1 on January 11 while the remaining 55 will be adopted soon to promote education in STEM, space education and space technology related innovation for school students.

An Atal Tinkering Lab provides activity-based learning in the identified schools across the country where young minds can give shape to their ideas for societal problems. It also fosters entrepreneurship and innovation, enabling over 3 million students between class VI to class XII to acquire a problem solving, tinkering and innovative mindset.

K Sivan, secretary, DOS and Chairman, Isro has expressed hope that the step would help promote innovation and the spirit of experiential learning among school kids. He also announced that students involved in these ATLs would be invited as guests to witness future launches from Sriharikota.
