Sopore: A one-day interactive workshop, A Day in ATAL Tinkering Lab, was successfully conducted at Government Boys Higher Secondary School Sopore, supported by Learning Links Foundation and Dell Technologies under the ATL Adoption Program.
The event brought together around 80 students from nearly 15 schools falling under cluster head Government Boys Higher Secondary School Sopore and Government Girls Higher Secondary School Sopore, along with their escorts, for a day dedicated to creativity, innovation, and hands-on learning.
The workshop primarily focused on design thinking, artificial intelligence, and rapid prototyping, aiming to nurture problem-solving skills and ignite curiosity among young learners. Students were also introduced to automation using microcontrollers, where they learned how to control devices and sensors, and explored 3D designing along with rapid prototyping techniques, enabling them to transform ideas into tangible models.
Participants engaged in practical activities, team-based challenges, and interactive sessions that encouraged collaboration and critical thinking. The enthusiasm among students and the quality of projects developed during the day made the workshop one of the most impactful initiatives for government school students in the region.
The program was widely lauded by all attendees as a benchmark in promoting scientific temper and technological skills at the school level.
Special thanks were extended to Principal Mr. Mushtaq Sopori for his visionary leadership in fostering an ecosystem of innovation, ATL Incharge Mr. Dawood A.H.
