Nashik: A joint exhibition of student and teacher projects was organised at Maratha High School, located on Gangapur Road, Nashik, under the joint auspices of the Maharashtra State Council of Educational Research and Training (MSCERT), Pune, and the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET), Nashik. This exhibition was conducted as part of the ‘Atal Tinkering Lab’ initiative, a program implemented by NITI Aayog to establish Atal Tinkering Labs in select grant-in-aid secondary schools across the country.
Given that the current era is fundamentally an ‘Electronics Era', NITI Aayog launched this initiative with the objective of imparting basic knowledge of electronics to students up to the 10th grade. Through the Atal Tinkering Lab, students gain both theoretical and practical knowledge in subjects such as coding, robotics, 3D printing, drone technology, mechanical engineering, and microprocessor electronics.
