An Innovation Hub is a place which provides facilities to nurture new ideas and help develop inquisitive perspective in youths of today. The Innovation Hubs created by the National Council of Science Museums (NCSM) would engage youth in innovative and creative activities. These would serve as springboards for new ideas and innovations and thus help the society and economy to face future challenges and meet rising aspirations of the growing population. Specifically, embedding such creative pedagogies in science education through Innovation ‘Hubs’ would have potential to retain talent in modern science.

The Innovation Hub will have primarily the following objectives:

• To equip and strengthen activities of the existing Science Cities/Science Centres/Institutions to inspire innovations by young children;
• To catalyse creation of more innovation hubs in different parts of the country especially in rural areas;
• To provide appropriate environment to nurture creative and innovating ideas of young children.
