Integrating AI and Tinkering into curriculum pedagogy will enhance the learning outcomes of the students to make them ready for an AI-fuelled world. This will help to nurture the spirit of innovation, invention & discovery in students. From coming up with an idea to designing a solution using the tools of tinkering and then creating a prototype using AI will help students get a complete understanding of the application of technology for social good.
