The science and technology has opened its doors for the young students of the city. The Regional Science Centre has come up with ‘The Innovation Hub- Incubator of Ideas’ for the students and teachers of the city.
The Innovation Hub will be launched on Thursday at Regional Science Centre. Interestingly, the hub will provide a platform to youth to engage in innovative and creative activities. The Innovation hubs are created by National Council of Science Museums in association with National Innovation Council.
Talking about the Innovation Hub, Regional Coordinator of Science Centre Prabal Roy told The Pioneer, “The National Council of Science Museums has taken up the challenge to meet the requirements of budding scientists on small scale basis. The innovation hub at Bhopal is a modest march in this direction.”
Elaborating further, he said, “It will be a podium to articulate ideas and imagination of young geeks.” The hub will create a platform to promote innovation and help those creative minds to converge their ideas into a clear focus, he added.
At the innovation hub a laboratory equipped with moderate set of tools and scientific instruments has been setup at the centre. “There will be a membership process for the innovation hub where registered members can incubate the best ideas,” informed Roy.
Besides, the innovation hub is equipped with facilities like the Discovery Hall, Innovation Resource Centre and Hall of Fame, technical lab, Idea lab that will further include activities like ‘Tod-Phod (break and build)’, ‘Kabad se Jugad (Build from the scrap)’ and Idea Box i.e. make your own science models and kits.
Further the members can also generate their research projects and will works with the mentors and experts. The Innovation Hub will be open on Saturdays and Sundays.
