Hands-on STEM Learning at Atal Tinkering Lab, Peepli

On 24 October 2026, KRITI extended its school outreach to a second school, Rajkiya Uchch Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Peepli, located 22 km from the BITS Pilani campus. BITS Pilani undergraduates Keshav Ramachandran and Yash Chokhani visit its Atal Tinkering Lab every Saturday for a 1.5-hour session, introducing students of classes 6 to 10 to tinkering and basic electronics. Under the mentorship of Prof. Hemant Sharma, they encourage practical learning and help students prepare for national-level competitions such as INSPIRE MANAK. Regular sessions at Bajawa continue alongside this new initiative.
