Project Infinity

About Project

Project Infinity is one of the prestigious projects under CIGI Talent Nurturing Centre (TNC) that is designed to create future scientists who will take leadership positions in various areas of science. This is part of CIGI’s long-term vision of producing knowledgeable, skilled, and competent candidates in science disciplines.

Talent Grove conceived the idea of “Project Infinity” in the year 2014 to help students create their own future through academic and professional success. Talent Grove is a non-profit organization based in Chicago, USA. Talent Grove partnered with CIGI to execute “Project Infinity” by providing guidance and support. Through this program, Talent Grove and CIGI have been able to build a community of social workers, teachers, parents, and students who deeply care about finding the passion in each student and providing them with the right resources. In the pilot phase, we selected 5 students from MM Vocational School, Calicut and in the next year, 20 students each from MM Vocational School and Calicut Girls Vocational School were selected. Apart from science training, the participants are given necessary soft skills training, lab-oriented activities, and residential camps. At present, two batches are actively running, which include students of 9th and 11th standards. Project Infinity is also a registered Science Club under VIPNET (Vigyan Prasar NETwork), which is an autonomous organization under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India.
