Participants will be given training on adopting a human-centric approach to identify opportunities, mastering design thinking tools, and honing skills necessary to develop customer-centric products or services. They will explore fundamental business models and conduct preliminary calculations for their start-up concepts.
TG Sitharam said, “The IDE bootcamp will help in inculcating the innovative skills in students at an early stage. Through the bootcamp, school students will develop the ability of taking risks, learn to overcome the fear of failure and harness the power of experiential and interactive learning.” School innovation initiatives will help in enhancing the gross enrollment ratio, he added.
