Bachpan Manao is an early childhood network of over 100+ organizations, schools and institutions working to raise the level of conversation around play for the sake of the young ones (0-8 years). As part of the team, I helped lead Masterclasses on different themes every month, designed the content for the website and social media, and designed the bi-weekly newsletter along with events every quarter.
Experience Design for Online Content
I created and reviewed 100+ Lesson Plans for grades K-5 on five different themes: Science, Math, Social-Emotional Learning, Coding and English. I worked with the Subject matter expert (SME) and Visual Design team to build the experience of teaching these classes using multi-modal teaching methods and digital tools.

Using human-centered design, I structured, tested, and compiled a 10-part life skills curriculum for 1500 children (aged 6-16 years) at the NGO Shaishav in rural Gujarat, India. Based on the W.H.O. life skills framework, the curriculum mapped human experiences as a self-discovery process, encouraging storytelling and tangible scenarios to arrive at solutions as a group. Various play-based methods, such as treasure hunts, role-playing, art-based exercises, and games, were used to help children build the muscles of essential life skills for everyday living.
