Hands-on Learning for Tomorrow’s Innovators
ACIC SGTU Community Innovation Centre hosted 3-Day Capacity Building Program titled “ATL
Tinker to Transform: Hands-on
Learning for Tomorrow’s Innovators”, from 19th – 21st June 2025, in collaboration with
the Faculty of Engineering &
Technology, National Reference Simulation Centre (NRSC) under the Faculty of Nursing,
SGT University.
This program is designed for young innovators and selected projects from the
𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒–𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 / 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧 of
Blue Bells Model School,
Gurugram. The objective of the program was to nurture the spirit of innovation and equip
school students with practical,
future-ready skills in cutting-edge domains such as CAD Design, Advanced Manufacturing,
Clinical Simulation, Artificial
Intelligence, and Machine Learning.
Program Highlights
The three-day capacity-building workshop was divided into three intensive modules,
carefully curated to deliver hands-on
exposure and conceptual clarity in key areas of innovation and technology.
Module 1: CAD Design & Advanced Manufacturing In this module, participants were introduced to the basics of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and the processes involved in digital fabrication. They received hands-on training in operating 3D printers and CO2 laser cutting machines, learning to convert digital models into functional prototypes. The session fostered a deep understanding of product design, prototyping workflows, and iterative thinking—key components of a maker’s mindset.
Module 2: Clinical Simulation Training at NRSC Conducted at the National Reference Simulation Centre, this module immersed participants in real-life healthcare scenarios using simulation-based training. Students were trained in Basic Life Support (BLS), patient monitoring, and emergency response protocols. They engaged with advanced simulation equipment and mannequins that replicated realistic clinical environments, enabling them to build critical thinking skills and gain a preliminary understanding of the healthcare ecosystem.
Module 3: Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning This interactive session demystified the rapidly growing fields of AI and ML for school students. Through practical coding exercises, conceptual discussions, and live demonstrations, the module aimed to make AI/ML concepts accessible and engaging. Participants explored how algorithms work, how machines learn from data, and how these technologies are shaping the future. The session also introduced real-world applications, encouraging students to think innovatively about technological solutions to everyday problems.
Closing Ceremony of the Event
The program concluded with a Certificate Distribution Ceremony, where students were
acknowledged for their enthusiastic
participation and curiosity throughout the training sessions. The ceremony was followed
by a guided campus tour of SGT
University, offering participants a glimpse into the diverse academic departments,
innovation labs, and research
facilities available on campus.
Key Outcomes
The program was a transformative experience for participating students, enabling them to:
- Increase awareness and interest in interdisciplinary fields such as engineering, healthcare, and artificial intelligence.
- Develop technical and design thinking skills through practical, hands-on learning.
- Cultivate interest in future career pathways in engineering, healthcare, and AI.
- Enhance teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving abilities among participants.
