ILAP - The Arts & Science Exhibition
The Innovative Learning Activities and Projects (ILAP) is a competition designed exclusively for children and youth with disabilities. Organized by Seva-in-Action under the Quizabled Foundation, supported by LTIMindtree, ILAP provides a platform for students with disabilities to develop and showcase innovative projects with the following objectives:
- To empower students with disabilities by fostering creativity and critical thinking skills
- To facilitate collaborative activities and enhance team spirit
- To boost students’ confidence and independence by encouraging leadership qualities
- To promote hands on skills development relevant to real life
The contest encourages creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork, helping students gain confidence and practical learning experiences.

Testimonials
Mrs. L.V. Jayashree
Director, SPASTN, Tamil Nadu
The special education space has not fully realized and embraced the full power and potential of project-based learning beyond books. ILAP gives the students a sense of ownership, purpose and tackle challenges as a seeker and solution provider. Students reflect, make real world connections and collaborate with other students. This is a good start
Mary Jacklin KJ
Karuna Special School for ID, Kerala
Through the ILAP project, our children's innate abilities were brought to the forefront, and we were able to understand their innovative ideas and thoughts. This was our children's first experience presenting a project of this nature in another state. They thoroughly enjoyed the program. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all members involved in making the ILAP project a success. Conducting separate evaluations for Art and Science projects would be beneficial.

We, the students, their parents and the mentors - Ms Sheeba, Ms Navya and I - are of the opinion that ILAP has been of great help to each one of us in one way or the other. Especially the students have benefited a lot from this. It has truly inspired them to pursue creative thinking. Thank you all for the great initiative

Ms. B. A. Smita
Judge of the ILAP finalists (ID group)
As a judge for the ILAP Competition, I was truly honored to have witnessed the immense talent, creativity, and innovation displayed by each of the teams. This event has not only been an opportunity to celebrate their achievements but also to recognize the importance of providing a platform for every child, regardless of their abilities, to shine.
Mrs. Brinda Rao
Education Consultant
Seeing the students go from the preliminaries to the final round, I was able to see a transformation. The students were more confident and presented with more clarity. Some of them were able to take questions from the audience and answer them with ease. This was a testament to the impact of the initiative. The biggest takeaway for students were not just from their projects but from the experience itself—learning to communicate and to adapt.
