Methodology

Following are the methodologies to enhance the impact of Innovation Hubs in the country:

  1. INTERACTIVITY: Leverage locally available resources to showcase science through Hands-on and Discovery approach to supplement school science education. Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) are to be presented as a process rather than a product.
  2. OUTREACH: Examples of innovative ways of taking science to remote areas using buses, trains, etc., exist. Yet, there needs to a renewed focus on interacting with the local communities better and drawing them to leverage the facilities at the Innovation Hubs. The Hands-on Workshops, Science Fairs, Science Carnivals, Maker’s Fairs, and Innovation Fairs are good examples of engaging public in the process.
  3. INNOVATION: All Innovation Hubs will focus on showcasing innovations on a regular basis. Resource Centre section will house successful application of scientific discoveries (for e.g., the story of Archimedes resolving the issue of the Votive crown), effectively relayed stories of stalwarts and innovators among others to portray application and benefits derived from science in day-to-day life. The Facility shall promote independent thinking, problem solving ability, nurturing creativity and generating innovative ideas.
