Our programmes are primarily structured around guided projects with strong mentorship. Students are mentored by industry experts, researchers, and professors from leading universities. Each student receives personal attention, regular feedback, and one-on-one guidance throughout the programme. By the end, students complete a high-quality project, and we also support them in publishing their work, which adds real value to their academic profile.
Can students participate alongside regular school schedules?
Yes, students can easily manage this alongside school. We conduct only three sessions per week, all scheduled in the evening, so they do not clash with school hours.
What happens if school holidays end early? Can students continue remotely?
Yes, students can continue fully remotely without any disruption. Our programmes are designed to be flexible, so even if school schedules change, students can stay on track with sessions, mentorship, and project work online. Additionally, we offer multiple cohorts, so if there is a scheduling conflict, students can be shifted to another cohort to ensure they do not miss anything important.
How does this programme support applications to top global universities?
The programme strengthens university applications in multiple ways. Students receive a certificate of completion, but more importantly, they build and often publish their own projects, showcasing initiative, research skills, and subject depth. The skill-based learning approach also helps students develop strong fundamentals, preparing them for university-level academics and helping them stand out in competitive applications.
What kind of career exposure and mentorship do students receive?
Students gain direct exposure to real-world career paths through mentorship from professionals working in their fields of interest. They learn how concepts are applied in industries, explore career options, and receive practical guidance on skills, portfolios, and future pathways. This enables them to make more informed academic and career decisions.

No. The Innovation School is our starting program for teens to understand the whole journey of making, post which they can do more with 1:1 capstone mentoring, international residencies, and even joining our hardware startup incubator.
Will building a project help me in college admissions?
Absolutely — building projects and maker portfolios can play a powerful role in college admissions today.
At Innovation School, students create hands-on projects that become part of a maker portfolio — a collection of experiments, prototypes, research, documentation, and real-world problem-solving work that reflects who they are as learners and creators.
A strong maker portfolio helps students:
- Show, not just tell — instead of only listing achievements, students demonstrate what they can build, design, prototype, and think through.
- Stand out in applications to universities that value creativity, initiative, interdisciplinary thinking, and hands-on learning.
- Build evidence of skills across areas like innovation, design, engineering, technology, sustainability, storytelling, and entrepreneurship.
- Showcase their process, not just final outcomes — including ideation, failures, iterations, and learning journeys.
- Strengthen college essays and interviews with authentic project stories and experiences.
- Develop a unique narrative around their interests and future goals.
Many leading universities today appreciate applicants who have pursued independent projects, built tangible solutions, explored community impact, or experimented beyond the classroom. A maker portfolio gives students a way to present these experiences in a meaningful and visual format.
At Innovation School, we focus not only on helping students build projects — but also on helping them document, present, and communicate their work effectively through portfolios, presentations, and storytelling. Attached is our research on how maker portfolios are becoming an important part of admissions.
Are there any programmes specifically focused on Mathematics or quantitative skills?
