Vivo Ignite 2026

It is a moment of pride for Shiv Nadar School as one of its educators has been selected among the 10 National Teacher Innovation Fellows under the fourth edition of vivo Ignite 2026. The National Teacher Innovation Fellowship (NTIF) recognises educators across India for reimagining classroom learning through innovation, experiential education, problem-solving and inclusive teaching practices.

The selection was highly competitive, with over 500+ applications received from 14 states and 26 districts. Following an extensive evaluation and interview process, 10 educators were selected by a panel of experts and academicians from the education, STEM, and innovation ecosystem.

The educators' work in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) is guided by a simple philosophy: students should not just learn about technology; they should learn to use it to solve meaningful problems.

At Shiv Nadar School, this vision takes shape through a Problem-to-Prototype approach, encouraging students to identify real-world challenges, explore solutions, build prototypes, and refine their ideas through experimentation. These initiatives have reached over 10,000 students and supported approximately 500 projects, nurturing creativity, technical skills, confidence, and problem-solving abilities.

The selected fellows were felicitated at the vivo Ignite 4.0 National Finale, held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, on 28th October 2026.

This recognition celebrates not just an individual achievement but also the collective efforts of students, colleagues and the school community. Shiv Nadar School congratulates Mr. Nitesh Kumar on this milestone and remains committed to fostering innovation, curiosity and experiential learning.

The goal is not just to prepare students for the future, but to enable them to build it.
