Detailed Description

Agastya International Foundation is a Bangalore based non-profit educational trust that seeks to transform and stimulate the thinking of economically disadvantaged children. Agastya does this by bringing innovative science education to the doorsteps of government schools in various states in India. Ms. Latkar, Ms. Shah, and I went to the Agastya Foundation in Kuppam in order to understand the way this incredible foundation works as well as to conduct some workshops. Agastya brings students from schools in the vicinity and exposes them to technology, art, and multiple perspectives. I got the opportunity to carry out a shoe art workshop with nine girls from an all-girl residential school in Kuppam. Children were asked to make things that they loved, which in some ways defined them. Students used some incredible colour combinations and learned to use textures and patterns to aid their design. It was a fun-filled activity that gave me insights into organising workshops better.
