A curious and enthusiastic person who started career in education by reflecting on my own learning, upbringing, and environment. My interest in education grew over time, and I gained experience in different areas, including non-profit, private, and public education, with a Postgraduate in Mathematics Education from Cluster Innovation Centre. I love the art of teaching mathematics and want to keep learning different ways to communicate mathematics. This aspiration takes me to Homi Bhabha Centre of Science Education, a National Centre of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) where I am learning the researching perspective of education through resource development & conducting sessions with school teachers and students in Design & Technology Education group.
Below you will find a snapshot of my work experience.

From May 9th to 11th, a national conference was held by the Mathematics Teachers Association (India) at Azim Premji University. It brought together teachers and teacher educators from all over the country to share their experiences and ideas about teaching mathematics.
I presented my paper under the theme "Innovations in Handling Classroom Challenges at the School Level." In my talk, I shared how we combined mathematics and wildlife to make learning more interesting and meaningful for students.
Every year, HBCSE celebrates National Science Day (NSD) as an open-house event, attracting over 3,000 participants. The event showcases engaging and interactive demonstrations in physics, chemistry, astronomy, mathematics, and design. It aims to nurture children's curiosity and introduce them to various aspects of the scientific world. NSD is held annually on the last day of February.
Our poster showed how Design Thinking can be a really helpful way to teach. We used it to create an educational game that teaches kids about Financial Literacy in a fun way. We carefully made this game by following the Design Thinking process, which helps us make things better step-by-step. This makes learning about financial things exciting and enjoyable for students.

Teacher's Workshop on "Playful Pedagogy: Exploring Educational Games"
Teacher's Workshop on "Playful Pedagogy: Exploring Educational Games"
Fifty teachers took part in a day-long workshop where they played various board games, no matter their subject area. The main goals were to discover the educational benefits of play and find ways to improve teaching and learning. Through this hands-on experience, the teachers learned how board games can be used to support learning in the classroom.
The 21st Century Skills Summer Camp for middle school students, organized by the Design and Technology Department at HBCSE, was an exciting and fun experience designed to help young people develop important life skills. Each day focused on a unique theme: building collaboration, empathy, and critical thinking on Day 1; enhancing environmental and financial literacy through educational games on Day 2; fostering media literacy by understanding credible sources and spotting fake news on Day 3; inspiring creativity through storytelling and artefact redesign on Day 4; and wrapping up with creative expression and visual communication skills through zine-making on the final day. The camp combined learning, innovation, and fun, empowering future leaders for the challenges of tomorrow.
to integrate Mathematics into wildlife to help students gain a deeper understanding of the forest.
I am from the Mathematics field, and Adithi specializes in wildlife. Together, we created a resource designed to help students understand wildlife through the lens of mathematics. This approach is similar to the work done by scientists, researchers, and forest officers in the field to study and understand wildlife. The resource is freely available on the DnT HBCSE website and is recommended for students in 8th grade and above. It also features a variety of wildlife topics, making it an engaging and educational tool.
During my journey with the Aavishkaar Fellowship Program, I had the opportunity to understand the education system of rural India (in Himachal Pradesh). As part of the DrishtiCONE project, I taught mathematics in government schools of Palampur, focusing on enhancing the learning experience for students. I also organized student and teacher camps and supported block-level teacher training, fostering collaboration and skill development. Additionally, I taught at Prerna School – Nari Gunjan in Danapur, Bihar, contributing to the growth of both students and teachers. I conducted community visits because we believe every student is unique, and understanding the community they live in is essential for better learning. This experience deeply enriched my understanding of education and community engagement. The video on the left shows me and my colleague visiting one of our student's homes. We were shocked to learn how he managed to come to school every day. There is no permanent road, and the temperature is in the single digits. It takes us around 1.5 to 2 hours to reach his home.
