During the event, students and experts engaged in discussions on several pressing issues related to climate change, including Women in STEM (Gender Equalities), the Role of Innovation and iSTEAM education in combating climate change, and the benefits of educational institutions-industry partnerships in bridging the gap between academia and industry, and promoting entrepreneurship. The event aimed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of climate issues and their potential solutions, enabling them to make informed decisions and contribute positively to society, as per the release.
“The school’s educational philosophy is centred on the idea of experiential learning, which is perfectly reflected through the boot camp. “We believe in nurturing a scientific temperament, promoting empathy towards every living being and fostering a global mindset in all aspects of school life. The students worked for nearly a month, presented their start-up pitches on social, economic, or environmental issues, and devised local and simple solutions,” Shashi Banerjee, director of education, Shiv Nadar School, said.
