Design Education in Delhi Schools
This project involved designing and implementing a curriculum on Digital Media & Design (DMD) at HighEnd 21st-Century Schools (HE21), under Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Schools of Specialised Excellence, Delhi.
The program enables learners to explore design concepts, tools, and techniques across domains of graphics, animation, and UI/UX. It emphasizes design as a problem-solving approach, encouraging students to engage with the design process in ways that link creativity and innovation to individuals, enterprises, and communities.
In its implementation phase, the program has focused on helping students recognize design as something present all around them and accessible and achievable, while simultaneously guiding them to spiral into deeper learning and develop strong foundational skills in design.
