About the Organization

Inqui-lab programs aim to nurture problem-solving capacities in adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. When we look at the OECD Report, our National Educational Policy, or diverse world events like the pandemic itself, it is clear that students of today need to learn more than just literacy and numeracy. They need adaptive capacities that not only make them job ready but help them solve the many complex problems that they see around them. What better place to support and build these skills than when young?

We design and deploy a continuum of programs — from foundational offerings like Think & Make and School Innovation Marathon, to advanced engagements like Discover & Empower and Youth for Social Impact. These help students build 21st-century skills and problem-solving mindsets through hands-on, real-world experiences.
