INNOVATE WITH FUN, ATL’s FOR EVERYONE
On 15th July, students from our school actively participated in the ATL (Atal Tinkering Lab) National Online Meet. During the event, several innovative AI projects were presented by our students, showcasing their creativity, problem-solving skills, and technological understanding.
We are proud to share that four teams from our school received Appreciation Certificates for their outstanding AI project presentations. As per the ATL guidelines, since more than three teams from our school were recognized, the school was also awarded an Appreciation Certificate for promoting innovation and excellence in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
This achievement highlights our commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and empowering students with 21st-century skills.
As part of the Traditional Pookolam Competition, the students of Brahma House under the Atal Tinkering Lab initiative showcased an innovative blend of culture and technology. They designed a rowing boat model powered by a servo motor, controlled through Arduino coding.
Using 3D printing technology, students created miniature figurines of rowers, whose paddling motion was synchronized with the servo motor to simulate realistic rowing. The boat was placed alongside the traditional floral Pookolam, symbolizing the harmony of heritage with modern innovation.
This project highlighted the creativity, technical skills, and teamwork of ATL students, proving how technology can be meaningfully integrated into cultural celebrations.
