IIT Gandhinagar’s Curiosity Lab to host 'Camp Inspire' for school children, teachers and parents

The Curiosity Camps are a Curiosity lab outreach initiative to increase interest and make learning fun. All thanks to IIT Gandhinagar!

The Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar’s Curiosity Lab is hosting an online camp for school students of classes 8 to 12 besides teachers, parents, and scholars of education to inspire, encourage exploration and build curiosity.

The sessions aim to introduce students to the stories of people who have taken up new and exciting professions and succeeded. The idea is to enable students to learn that inspiration can strike from anywhere, be it a book, a person, or a movement, and that such inspiring stories can be found all around.

However, one rarely hears from the person who has lived through that story. The people who inspire someone today were also once inspired by others.

They came across stories that they resonated with and found the motivation to grow into a leader, influencer, and change-maker to create an impact that inspires the next generation. Through Camp Inspire, IIT Gandhinagar brings together some incredible individuals who took unique paths and chose to follow their passions despite many obstacles.

Curiosity Lab conducts scientific research to understand how to improve curiosity among students while learning. The Curiosity Camps are a Curiosity lab outreach initiative to increase interest and make learning fun.

Highlighting the unique aspects of Camp Inspire, Professor Jaison A Manjaly, Principal Investigator, Curiosity Lab, IIT Gandhinagar, said,

“Curiosity Camps offer an opportunity for students, teachers, and parents to witness stories of inspiring individuals that may encourage them to follow their passions and make a positive change in society.”
