It is a very old and common saying that necessity is the mother of invention. “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” is a saying by Buckminster Fuller. Invention and change in turn needs innovation. The question here arises that what in actual terms is innovation?

What is Innovation?

Innovation is a bright spark of idea that when put to life changes peoples life. Innovation is simply a vision that brings a drastic change. In simple terminology, anything that excites and gives spark to the senses, is different, unique, new and just magical can be termed as innovative. Innovation is needed in every phase of life from global challenges to our day to day issues that we face. Innovation is needed when the old ways become obsolete and does not hold appropriate for the present scenario anymore. When we look back even today we can find how much has changed.

Apollo Next Giant Leap Student Challenge

NASA’s Northwest Earth and Space Sciences Pipeline celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing by inviting students from grade 5 to 12 to enter the Apollo Next Giant Leap Student Challenge. Each team is required to build a replica of the lunar module and use a remote-controlled drone to land it on an 8-by-10-foot map of the Moon's surface. Students will have to modify and program a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot to then explore the lunar surface and bring back a rock sample.

Apart from these several such competitions are being held from time to time to provide a platform for the students to explore and innovate and showcase their talents. Google science fair, World Robot Olympiad India, Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, National Science Concours are a few such opportunities for the students to develop and demonstrate their skills and talents.
