Where Ideas Turn Into Reality
The Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) at Podar GPS School is a workspace where young minds can give shape to their ideas through hands-on do-it-yourself modes and learn innovation skills. This initiative is part of the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) by NITI Aayog, Government of India.
Our objective is to foster curiosity, creativity, and imagination in young minds; and inculcate skills such as design mindset, computational thinking, adaptive learning, and physical computing.
