    The Innovation hubs created by National Council of Science Museums (NCSM) would engage youth in innovative and creative activities.
  • The Innovation Hub
    An Innovation Hub is place which provides facilities to nurture new ideas and help develop inquisitive perspective in youths of today.

Welcome to theInnovation Hub Network

of
National Council of Science Museums (NCSM)

Innovation is essential for sustained growth, and one of the key drivers is an innovative mindset and culture. Inspiring legacies of bygone national and global innovators need to be showcased to the young to seed mind-set change. Science Centres need to play a role in communicating this message to young and all.

India's future rests on its ability to harness the creative potential of its large, young population. In order to foster innovation and creativity, problem- and project-based learning (PBL) play an important role. Undertaking innovative experiments, projects, and problem-solving exercises in a multi-disciplinary set brings joy to learning.
