Are you tired of rote learning and children becoming passive learners in classrooms who just say “yes ma’am” & “no ma’am”? I am tired and sick of it. So I’ve been building Aaravam for the last 6 months. Here is what I’ve been doing!🧵

i don’t think it’s really that hard to make kids love learning kids are born curious so just don’t do whatever schools do to make kids hate learning

Pretty cool! Need something like this in India
The Primer Fellowship is back. If you've dreamed of launching your own school in FL, AL, TX or AZ — we built this for you. We're on a quest to ensure this is the last generation left behind by the US K-12 system, and we need your help. Let's launch some schools!

Thank youu for helping out! Got a lot of recommendations!
Helloo! Hosting a mixer for folks building in education. Around 30-40 people will be there. Any one wants to open up their space to us? Or maybe recommend a space where this could happen in Bangalore?

No filmmaker saw children as Kiarostami did, not as metaphors but as entire worlds. In Homework (1989), a boy explains punishment and encouragement with disarming candour. In that gaze, childhood is not acted, it is lived in all its raw, fragile, and unrepeatable truth.

Hellooo! Way too many applications so I’m going to close the applications today at 5pm! Might end up choosing 20 people for this cohort instead of 15- just because of the number of people who’ve applied! Thank you for the overwhelming response 💛

Everyone in the social sector in India wants to coach/advise people. No one wants to do the actual work. A great coach can be a fantastic value add but it is not something that everyone can/should do.

Any early career creative professionals want to work with government schools in Mumbai and teach the students there media literacy & more? It’s only on the weekends + you get a stipend and travel support. Dm

Students are now in the third week of the learning challenge. For the first time, they are feeling confusion, discomfort, anxiety while working on their passion project. They assumed it will be a straightforward path with just successes but they are starting to realise that

I love the internet! I raised funds for the learning challenge through Instagram and Twitter. Got someone to shoot and make a documentary about it via Twitter. Got 2 of the mentors via Instagram. Got one person to do more research about this via LinkedIn.
