Facilities at the Innovation Hubs:

1. Discovery Hall: This area will have 10 to 15 interactive science exhibits/experiments to create excitement about science through exploration and discovery of underlying principles. This will help promote logical thinking.
2. Innovation Resource Centre and Hall of Fame: This space will be used to showcase innovative ideas/products/implements that have transformed our world or have made significant impact on the way we conduct our lives along with respective inventors & innovators.

3. Idea Lab: This lab will have necessary basic facilities to pursue creative and innovative hobbies/activities that involve model making, basic science experimentation, design & fabrication of useful gadgets of practical use, teaching/learning kits or aids for better classroom transactions, testing of samples like soil, water, food items etc.
   1. Thod Phod Jod (Break & Remake) Corner: Students learn to do things with their own hands, dismantle, reassemble and remake devices/gadgets.
   2. Kabad Se Jugad (Build from scraps): Students learn more by doing things practically using day to day scrap.
   3. Idea Box: Students generate their own innovative ideas and create an idea bank. The best ideas are chosen for experimentation/model making/project work.
4. Design Studio: This area will offer creative environment to design of various objects products etc.

All Innovation Hubs will focus on showcasing innovations on a regular basis. Resource Centre section will house successful application of scientific discoveries (for e.g. the story of Archimedes resolving the issue of the Votive crown), effectively relayed stories of stalwarts and innovators among others to portray application and benefits derived from science in day-to-day life. Facility shall promote independent thinking, problem solving ability, nurturing creativity and generation of innovative ideas.
