, Bhubaneshwar

Event

Quest2Learn's first-ever Odisha edition brings together learners, sector practitioners, govt. representatives and social impact investors to celebrate teachers and principals who are building enabling ecosystems for 21st century learning.

Amongst the many conversations lined up for the day, students across the state who created the most innovative prototypes at hackathons last year will be felicitated. Similarly, govt. high school educators who have built successful, sustainable and scalable practices for:
- Student-led processes
- Positive teacher-student relationships
- Gender-equitable and equal opportunities
- Community engagement
- Effective leadership

Alongside key 21st century skills, digital literacy, gender sensitization, STEM mindset, and computational thinking, these practices are key to transform state-run schools into learning spaces that help students become future-ready.
