Students presented diverse projects, including a functional vacuum cleaner made from simple materials like plastic bottle, fan, battery and switch to demonstrate air pressure. As part of the national celebration, they attended a live session organised by NITI Aayog, joining over 10,000 ATL participants from across India on the same platform. The interactive programme inspired learners to explore creative solutions and deepen their understanding of real-world applications. Certificates of excellence were awarded to outstanding participants and mentors, and the day concluded with a lively discussion that strengthened teamwork, creativity, and the school’s commitment to nurturing future innovators.
