Intellify, in collaboration with NSS IIT Delhi and iSAFE, launched the National Science & Creativity Program (NSCP) for schools across the country. NSCP is a unique skill enhancement program based on Center for Curriculum Design’s concept of Four-Dimensional Education. It is expected to be conducted in 5000+ schools across India with support of Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH), Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs, Department of Science & Technology and National Crime Records (Ministry of Housing Affairs).
This program offers 3 rounds of assessments of students’ cognitive and hands-on skills and provides with personalized e-learning support between and after the assessment. NSCP works with a skill-based approach that measures students’ conceptual understanding, benchmarks school’s performance at a national & regional level with actionable insights through easy-to-understand reports. Students from class 5th -12th are eligible for this free of cost program and can be registered by their schools on intellify’s website. Selected students will be mentored by IIT Delhi students and will get a chance to visit NASA, get scholarships, Smart DIY Kits and much more. Workshops for teachers will also be conducted by IIT alumni and professors.
