Notable Projects undertaken during PhD:
Carbon Warrior: A game designed to bring awareness about the effect of our daily choices on the environment by introducing the concept of "Carbon Footprint" for middle school children.
Katharan: A board game developed to teach Sanskrit grammar! It's a multi-player game and can be used by any age group to learn or brush up Sanskrit grammar, along with hearing how to pronounce the words correctly. The game consists of placards for verbs, pronouns, vibhakti, etc and players have to join the placards in correct order and complete the story from Panchatantra. They can also point their phone camera at difficult to pronounce words and get immediate help with pronunciation and meaning of the word (AR supported technology). For more details - Katharan Website
