CMR school hosts design challenge

The CMR National Public School hosted a theme design thinking challenge titled 'CMR for Better Bangalore' on its premises in Kalyan Nagar on Saturday.

"The series of innovative products designed by the students were the result of the design thinking workshops that the students attended over a period of eight weeks. They used the hands-on iterative process to help the differently abled participate actively in society," said a press release.

"The students were given an opportunity to interact with differently abled people from various walks of life, thus giving them the time and space to empathise with the issues faced by the physically challenged community," it said.

The school also launched 'The Makery' - its on-campus Makerspace to encourage the students to translate their ideas and innovate by providing them the right opportunities and tools.
