"Through this workshop, we teachers have developed the ability to inculcate an entrepreneurial mindset in children."
"This workshop taught us how entrepreneurial mindset can be taught through an entertaining film as well."
"This training on how to inculcate an entrepreneurial mindset in students has also succeeded in changing our mindset as teachers."
“This is not about me but how current generation responds to you. We as adults should be able to hear them, understand their perspective and be one of them. I learned that I can be better in my thinking about my career and have ‘clarity’. When 80% of group raised their hands in support of ‘donating’ it truly made me emotional that I should be ‘donating’ more or giving back to society more. Their polite gestures taught me that I could be more ‘polite’. I may be doing injustice as the experience I felt internally are not coming out as effective words here. Honestly I can’t wait to go back to that school or such schools.”
“👍🙏 thank you for the great initiative that Enpower and Bayer Organisation has taken in nurturing the innovative skill of our students. Thank you for your continuous follow-up and grateful to you for providing a platform to our students to showcase their talent. Hoping to see many more future endeavours with your support.”
“We created an alert system for healthcare professionals that helps them administer timely medication without a cognitive overload. We did face a lot of challenges as we were not aware about the technology but our mentors helped us build this. ”
“Bayer-ENpower helped us understand complex technologies in a simple ways. The training really helped us go back to school and apply all the learning in the classroom.”
"Until now, we have only had theory sessions in school, it was boring. This program allows us to conduct fun scientific experiments, explore amazing technologies, like microcontrollers and build prototypes by ourselves."
"With the help of NITI Aayog AIM and Bayer institute, upskilling of students has rapidly increased and we can see the students have in-depth knowledge of their innovations. It is wonderful to see how confidently they are presenting their projects."
We help you to make the difference
Our comprehensive & well-structured curriculum, aligned with the New Educational Policy (NEP), offers age-appropriate & grade-wise entrepreneurship education for young adults. Schools can effortlessly integrate our I.D.E.A Labs curriculum into their learning pedagogy. It features gamified lesson plans & can be divided into modular structures such as co-curricular activities, clubs, workshops, or simulations. We also provide teacher training modules to support smooth implementation.
We offer a portfolio of modular & experiential workshops with specific learning objectives for student groups. These workshops encompass learning technology enablers, problem identification, opportunity evaluation, design thinking, nurturing entrepreneurial mindset, & the journey from idea to venture, among others. Our domain experts curate workshops & programs based on desired learning outcomes, industry linkages, student demographics, & deployment methods.
In the quest of providing students with a hands-on entrepreneurial experience, we have developed Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects that empower them to create their own prototypes, tech-led solutions, & venture models. These projects are designed around real-world problems, SDGs, & industry domains, inspiring students to recognize their potential as future change drivers.
Our impact assessment framework enables educators to measure, assess, & remediate the progress of each child in building 21st-century life skills. The assessments are engaging & gamified. We have introduced EnQ, India's first entrepreneurship mindset measurement index, which allows institutes to track their progress in nurturing a mindset of "job creators" instead of "job-seekers" among the students.
We have established strong connections with the industry & startup ecosystem to enhance our learning ecosystem. Through a series of masterclasses by domain experts, mentor networks, industry-linked idea hackathons, & corporate internships, we provide unique engagement opportunities. These initiatives inspire students to explore entrepreneurial thinking & gain valuable industry exposure.
To foster inspiration & recognition of talent among students, we have developed a comprehensive framework of "Showcase Days'' for schools to organize in their institutes. These events include day-long fun-filled activities, idea pitching to jury panels, idea hackathons, & techpreneurship challenges. We support schools from conceptualization to execution, mentoring groundbreaking ideas, securing seed funding, filing intellectual property, & representing at national & international idea platforms, earning accolades for both students & their institutes.
