Technology major, Intel has launched ‘Inspiring Young Innovators’ school programme at two international schools in the City, the Inventure Academy and Greenwood High, as part of its Intel Teach initiative.
Students from the two schools will be mentored by Intel experts and given workshops during the course of the academic year 2009-10. The programme is aimed at inculcating scientific temper both, among the students and within the system.
Rahul Bedi, director of Corporate Affairs for Intel (South Asia) said, “The idea is to make learning fun. There will be a total of 10 interventions including workshops, field trips to the Intel campus.” Teachers from kindergarten to Class 12 too will participate in the programme.
Meanwhile, the CEO of Inventure Academy Nooraine Fazal said, the academy would make sure that the benefit of the programme reaches the immediate communities of the ‘eco-system’ that the school is situated in.
A parent, Anupama Parekh felt the programme would provide students the required practical exposure.
