India has the world’s largest youth population, but most students lack access to hands-on STEM education.
Our programs democratize innovation skills by enabling teenagers and underserved youth to prototype solutions to real-world problems – from sustainability to health, mobility, and education.
With CSR support, we provide scholarships, mentorship, and infrastructure access to students who would otherwise be left out
learners engaged across India & globally
prototypes built – from drones to medical devices
global & national partners – UNESCO, UNDP, Airbus, Monash University, Ador Foundation, PeeVee Textiles, etc.
The Innovation School is a hybrid program for teens (13+ and lifelong learners) that combines pre-engineering, design, and STEAM learning with real, hands-on projects.
Leaders and experts from diverse backgrounds become part of your personal network as you navigate the world of ideas and solutions!
The program puts a lot of emphasis on the journey from ideation to actual problem-solving and making via extensive documentation.
Leaders and experts from diverse backgrounds become part of your personal network as you navigate the world of ideas and solutions!
As problems in the world become multi-dimensional, solutions need a collaborative lens. Our culture harnesses the power of collective intelligence.

Hands-on learning experiences that open up multiple future pathways across education, careers, entrepreneurship, and social impact.
As part of the virtual skill building experience, Innovation School Kits are sent home to each talent. Theycontain exciting hardware that helps create a makerspace at their desk. Each skill is taught through a project which includes the following
This part of the program is essentially focused on developing fundamental technology skills at the intersection of hardware, design, and programming. These comprise 4 mandatory skills and 1 elective from Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality.
Before the in-person residency, participants join a 10-hour online pre-residency to sharpen and strengthen their project ideas.
Through live sessions with global mentors and peer cohorts, learners refine problem statements, test assumptions, and shape clear project roadmaps.
This phase ensures every participant arrives at the residency aligned, confident, and ready to build with purpose.
Talents identify a unique problem statement, define their passion project, and then work on building a prototype of the solution. This involves concepts of design thinking, frugal innovation, and rapid prototyping. Each talent works with select mentors, peers, and is supervised by the Maker’s Asylum Team.
Total Time: 40 Hours
Days: 7
Outcome: Functional prototype of a solution
Format: Talent can opt for an offline residency
