Asia Initiatives is assisting Vidhyalay Udhyam to achieve the goal of all children to have the right to an education and access to tools to improve educational intellectual development. Focusing on children based in remote rural villages of Chawand, the Maker Lab initiative grants young learners to know their interests and goals for life. The Maker Labs delivers in three folded modules: A) maker mindset course, B) Design thinking framework and C) Entrepreneurial activities. The project runs on-site and off-site through maker lab and local volunteers respectively.

 

The kids earn SoCCs through coaching to juniors through project-based learning, foundational numeracy and literacy. They are redeeming SoCCs for a one-year membership of Green skill curriculum (E -waste to wealth), Maker mindset courses, Design thinking framework course, a 6 month entrepenuriship course and seed resources to test their own idea.
