Creativity and ingenuity

According to a Directorate of School Education official, the models related to health and well-being, resource management and food security, agriculture and food, waste management and water resources protection, energy resources, disaster management, education technology, transport and communication, electronic and industrial protection. They reflected the children’s creativity and ingenuity.

Apart from honing their skills in making models, displaying them and explaining their functioning and utility, this also develops communication skills among students, he added.
