Introduction of Innovation process & ATL LAB to community students

Teachers participating in understanding the innovation process

The objectives of the workshop were to equip teachers to provide first level mentoring for student projects.

As the student ideas can be diverse and not necessarily overlapping teacher's domain of expertise, the best a teacher can do is participate with the student in discovering the solution to the problem. A design thinking process helps the teacher take the project forward in a constructive way.

The process involves observation, ideation, designing and prototyping and multiple iterations. The teachers actually solved a problem by modelling and then using rapid protyping tools to test and improve upon the model
