About the program:
WIC is a 1-week long purpose-based hands-on learning program focused on bringing together young minds from various cities under one roof to experience the rural environment full of art, innovation, science and technology.
When: 23 Dec- 31 Dec 2019
The program focused on students from class 3 to 11 who have a thirst for science and innovation.
What was taught to the students?
IPSFRI- School for Rural Innovation, a unit of Navonmesh Prasar Foundation is the only premier institute in Odisha to impart experimental and hands-on learning platforms to school students through programs like these.
The program provided a platform for students to learn in an environment away from the rush of the city. This intense program focused on building youth innovators through a practical approach and problem-solving.
Along with technical skills, equal importance was given for improving and working on the soft skills of the students. Hence each day, before starting with the main activities, a session of ‘Soft Skills’ was conducted.
