Honourable minister in his speech inspired and motivated students by reciting few lines of �Manushya Tu Bada Mahan� and envisaged students to identify their own hidden potential and make use of all the facilities available to them. ATL provides an enabling environment for students to innovate through a do-it-yourself approach. The Labs will be equipped with sophisticated machines and instruments such as 3D Printers and Microcontrollers for honing the technical and innovation related skills of students. They will help to bring theoretical concepts to life and inculcate a range of skills including those pertaining to design, computational thinking and physical computing. Due to the practical orientation of this approach, students will learn to �make� which, in turn, can lead to the development of real-world applications and new enterprises. We at Hillwoods envisage ATL to be incubator that can help to shape a generation of citizens who are well versed with the benefits, challenges and consequences of technology use.
