Activities
Coding: MIT's Scratch software
I conduct Scratch coding workshops annually for students from Class 8-12 for children from rural and underprivileged backgrounds. I conducted my first Scratch coding workshop when I was in Class 8. I design the course, create material and lead workshops. At the end of the workshop children are able to create their own video games using block coding.
Robotics using
Arduino
I conduct Robotics workshops with students from Class 10-12. Using Arduino, we build an obstacle avoiding robotic car. The objective of this workshop is to make children familiar with robotics, Arduino and programming. I design the course, create learning material including instructional videos and lead the workshop.
Technology
Quizzes
I conduct Technology Quizzes. The objective is to make the children more knowledgeable in the area of Technology. This creates a broader interest in STEM amongst rural and underprivileged children.

I support Manav Kalyan Trust which is educating 1800 children in three schools. I have been active with the Trust since 2019. I conduct workshops in coding with MIT’s Scratch coding software, Robotics using Arduino and Technology Quizzes regularly. Over 200 children from Class 8-12 have benefitted from my workshops. The activities have helped to create an interest in STEM and pursue it as a career among the children.
