About Programme

The French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu showed that the dispositions which shape how we see and act in the world for the rest of our lives are formed early — during childhood and adolescence, through repeated experience at home, in school, and in the neighbourhood. This course is built on that insight. Rather than introducing innovation and entrepreneurship as a separate subject to be studied, it embeds them in the daily lives of school students as something to be lived and practised — dynamic, recursive, and inseparable from everything else they are learning. It will progress by contextualizing innovation and entrepreneurship for students leveraging access to their respective households, neighbourhoods and schools. Simultaneously, the program also aims to normalize innovation and entrepreneurship as a practice routinized through observation, discussions and experiments as part of daily living, to be carried out around one’s parents and teachers rather than as a clandestine or personal activity The program will be carried out in two distinct phases: Phase 1 (August 29 – 30): In the first phase to be carried out from home, inputs will be provided in online mode. Students will be required to carry out designated tasks in collaboration with family members / neighbours. Individual check-in will happen in the afternoon / evening to ensure that students are on the right track. At the end of this phase, students would have figured out a problem of interest and the associated stakeholders. Phase 2 (September 12 – 13) : In the second phase, students will travel to IIT Bombay and will work from the premises of DSSE, IIT Bombay. They will arrive at a solution in discussion with peers and will examine its feasibility. Subsequently, they will design and build a physical / digital model and leverage it to narrate the story of their enterprise.
