ATL Space Challenge - 2021

Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog in collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organisation and Central Board of Secondary Education successfully launched the ATL Space Challenge 2021 for all school students across the country. The challenge has been designed for all the school students, mentors and teachers who not only are associated with schools having Atal Tinkering Laboratories but for all the non ATL schools as well.
This is to ensure that students of classes 6 to 12 are given an open platform where they can innovate and enable themselves to solve digital age space technology problems. Students can create a solution that can be implemented and adopted leveraging technologies such as: Explore Space, Reach Space, Inhabit Space, Leverage Space.
The ATL Space Challenge 2021 aligns with the World Space Week 2021 which is being observed from 4 to 10 October each year at the global level in order to celebrate the contributions of space science and technology.
Each group of students formed under this initiative has to choose one of the problems covered under the Space Challenge theme based on their interest and understanding. These teams will be assisted by school teachers, ATL in-charges and mentors. A team can have a maximum of 3 members.
