The Science Mentorship Ladder is an initiative aimed at fostering collaborative and experiential learning by enabling senior students to mentor their juniors in exploring science beyond the classroom.
Through guided support in experiments, model-making, and preparation for exhibitions and competitions, senior students simplify complex concepts and share their experiences, making scientific learning more accessible and engaging.
This peer-learning model not only builds confidence and curiosity amongst the younger students but also nurtures leadership, responsibility, and communication skills in the mentors, with teachers serving as facilitators throughout the process.
As a part of this initiative, a session titled “Think Different, Create Better: Innovation in Action” was conducted on 17 April 2026 for the students of classes IX and X by Vansh Sharma, Rishietdeep Singh, Paarth Sadhwani, and Samiya Khurana of class XII (Science).
The session commenced with an address by Vice Principal, Dr Anu Singh, who highlighted the importance of innovation in shaping the future. The presentation introduced students to innovation as the process of transforming creative ideas into practical solutions to real-world problems, while clearly distinguishing it from creativity. The speakers also discussed various types of innovation and emphasised the need to develop a strong problem-solving mindset, supported by examples of young innovators.
To provide practical insight, the presenters showcased their own projects, including LungSage, an AI-powered spirometer for early detection of lung diseases, and Reti-Spect, an AI-based eye-care diagnostic system, enabling students to connect theoretical concepts with real-world applications. They further introduced accessible AI platforms such as Replit, Bolt, and V0, demonstrating how these tools can support students in developing projects and exploring innovative ideas independently.
Overall, the session was highly enriching, inspiring students to think creatively, address real-world challenges, and take meaningful steps towards innovation while reinforcing the objectives of the Science Mentorship Ladder initiative.
