The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.

The Principal , Mrs Anju Puri firmly believes that every change starts with self and she not only gives this message to the students but also tries to find practical solution to protect the environment.

In this context her latest effort was to make Atal Tinkering Lab the first one in the Country to run by Solar power. She initiated the process and a team of teachers and stuents enthusiastically started working on the project.

They did the essential spade work and the solar plates were purchased. The idea was to involve the students practically in fixing them. Thus the students took the solar plates to the roof ,found ideal location , measured voltage ,fitted all the connections under the expert supervision.

At the outset of the new session our ATL became equipped with solar power and in the process the students learnt a great deal about the practical use of solar energy.

Students of class X and XII ( Tinker Club)attended a workshop on “ Raspberry Pi “ on 27th March 2018 at ATL organized  by STEMROBO Technologies Pvt. Ltd. In the beginning students learnt about IOT followed by Introduction to Raspberry Pi and difference between Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

After  that students moved to computer lab and continued with installing Raspbian and SD card controller . Students also learnt shell script Python and did hands on activities to glow led on breadboard.

Atal Tinkering Lab was honoured to welcome the eminent guests Mr Chris Morris (Principal Social Development Specialist , NGO Centre , Sustainable Development and Climate Change Department , ADB , Philippines), Mr Rajesh Nair (Senior Lecturer at the Asia School of Business, Visiting Scholar at MIT-Tata Center for Technology and Design) and Mr Dhruv Saidava on 22nd March, 2018.
