Teacher professional devpt training conducted in Udupi
Udupi: In an effort to integrate sustainability, innovation, and critical thinking into ATL school education, a teacher training session under the Shell NXplorers programme was conducted in Udupi for the academic year 2025-26. The programme, run in collaboration with the Learning Links Foundation and supported by NITI Aayog's Atal Innovation Mission, aims to empower educators to guide students in tackling real-world challenges using STEM. This year's training brought together 18 Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) teachers from 16 schools, many of whom were part of the NXplorers journey for the past two years. These educators underwent an immersive session on the NXplorers Foundation Curriculum, equipping them with tools and strategies to facilitate student-led change projects in their respective schools. The event was honoured by the presence of Ashoka Kamath, principal in-charge, DIET Udupi, and Suresh Bhat, lecturer, DIET, who expressed appreciation for the programme's alignment with national educational priorities. The Shell NXplorers programme, implemented in Udupi since 2023, led to the successful mentorship of numerous student projects, some of which received recognition at district and state levels. With sustained support from NITI Aayog, local authorities, and proactive school leadership, the NXplorers initiative continues to build a strong foundation for education that is responsive to global sustainability challenges. By investing in teacher capacity building, the programme ensures that students are mentored by facilitators who are equipped to inspire inquiry, creativity, and practical problem-solving in the next generation of changemakers.
