The selected schools will
form teams comprising of one teacher and six students with one team per school
and students in the age group of 12 to 16 years between 8th and 10th standard.
These students need to design and manufacture their dream product using
specialized 3D design software and 3D printing technology. The product should
be physically tangible, can be an assembly of parts, and major portions of the
product should be 3D printed. Each team is expected to work as a startup and
the students are required to participate in the entire process of creation,
from the early design to the marketing of their “product,” with the help of
promotional videos, mailers and communication campaigns.
The teachers and students
will be mentored by technical experts on various technology topics. Experts
from Dassault Systèmes as well as external domain experts will conduct a series
of workshops for all the teams.
The program was inaugurated
at a virtual function by Dr. Shekhar Mande, Director General of Council of
Scientific & Industrial Research, Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt.
of India, and Dr. Jerome Bove, Scientific and academic attaché, Embassy of
France in India, in the presence of Marie-Pierre Aulas, Global General
