About the Programme:
As part of the 10-day summer camp organized at Ajad English School, Khumanthem Mahesh Singh and Khundrakpam Churchil Singh, the students of Electronics and Communication Department of Manipur Technical University had the incredible opportunity to guide and mentor students in a special program under the theme “Innovation in Science and Technology.” The primary aim of this initiative was to introduce young students to the exciting world of electronics and embedded systems through hands-on learning and real-world applications. The camp was designed not just to teach, but to ignite a spark of curiosity and creativity in the minds of students. Through practical sessions, live demonstrations, and teamwork, the camp aim to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and actual implementation.

Outcome of the Programme:
The 10-day summer camp successfully sparked a deep interest in electronics and technology among students from classes 7 to 10, many of whom had no prior experience. By the end of the program, students were confidently building circuits and presenting their projects, demonstrating both technical growth and improved communication skills. The camp also fostered essential soft skills such as teamwork, critical thinking, and leadership. Additionally, it strengthened ties between school education and higher institutions like Manipur Technical University, opening doors to future academic and career opportunities in STEM fields.
