Entrepreneurship Bootcamp by Ministry of Education
“If you are interested in something, you will focus on it, and if you focus attention on anything, it is likely that you will become interested in it.”
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Hungarian Psychologist.
The Innovation, Design, and Entrepreneurship (IDE) Bootcamp, was organised jointly by the Department of School Education and Literacy, the Ministry of Education's Innovation Cell (MIC), AICTE and NCERT as an academic collaboration programme with PARAKH ( Performance Assessment, Review, and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development ) and the CBSE.
Around 500 participants including students and teachers from various zones of Delhi gathered at the NIET ( Noida Institute of Engineering and technology) to attend the event. Ms Sumi Dennis Simon of The Indian school got an opportunity to be a part of this two- day journey on April 9th and 10th, 2024.
The sessions covered understanding customers, recognising the need for a product, utilising design thinking, assessing idea feasibility, determining funding requirements for product development, and prototyping. These two days were filled with energy, excitement, and valuable learning experiences.
