Mysuru’s Excel Public School (EPS) students’ ‘Anytime Education’ device has been recognised by the Ministry of Education (MoE) as one of the top 20 innovations at ‘School Innovation Contest’ 2023-24.
‘School Innovation Contest’ was launched by the MoE in August 2023, inviting over 6,000 project submissions nationwide. The contest was developed by the Government of India to systematically foster the culture of innovation in all Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and schools across the country.
The students of EPS - Eshanvi Nandeesh Preetham, C.B. Swarna, and Divya Satish - over the last eight months underwent boot camp training leading up to an elevator pitch to the Ministry. Their elevator pitch for ‘Anytime Education’ was selected among the 20 in India who qualified for funding. The students received the first tranche in March and are expected to receive the second tranche in June. The funding from the Ministry will help the students to further develop the product and market its use-case across relevant forums and exhibitions. The innovation will also be showcased at the NEP National Level Exhibition in Delhi to be held in July, 2024, a release from the school said.
