Building Innovators and Change Makers

Training adolescents living in marginalised communities in cognitive skills like inquiry, design, and computation, and 21st century skills like communication, STEM, and leadership, to prepare them for better life opportunities and bring equity for their communities.

CARE India’s Innovators and Change Makers programme emphasises on the development of three of the most important thinking skills – Inquiry, Design and Computation in adolescents, especially girls, coming from communities. The initiative aims to equip them with critical dispositions like social awareness, scientific temperament and 21st century skills to prepare them for better life opportunities (education and economic) and turn them into changemakers for their communities.
