The launch of 500 new Atal Tinkering Labs (ATLs) in Jammu & Kashmir under the Frontier Region Programme aims to strengthen innovation at the school level. These labs provide students with access to 3D printing, robotics, AI kits, and coding platforms, enabling them to develop STEM skills, solve local challenges, and prepare for future careers. The initiative, supported by ATL Sarthi and private sector partners like Boeing and Amazon India, also includes mentorship and teacher training, creating an ecosystem that fosters hands-on learning and cultivates creativity and problem-solving abilities among young learners in remote and underserved regions.
