Future Skills Lab

Part of the i4T – Innovators for Tomorrow Mission

Equipping Students Today for the Jobs of Tomorrow

The Future Skills Lab is an initiative by iExplore Foundation designed to introduce school students — especially those from underserved communities — to emerging technologies and future-ready skills.
This hands-on learning environment helps students explore Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics, Drones, and more — nurturing innovation, critical thinking, and problem-solving from a young age.

Key Features:

AI & IoT kits

Drones and robotics tools

3D printers and design software

Trained facilitators and structured curriculum
