  • Students today consume rather than create with technology. They indulge heavily in social media and computer games. 

  • The program provides opportunity for them to create and apply open-source technologies in various fields.

  • In a consuming mode as opposed to creating mode, students lack opportunities to develop life skills — communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.

  • The program provides opportunity for them to invest in developing the projects of their interest. The experiential learning journey nurtures their life skills.
