Design Challenge

In ancient times, education was not accessible to common people. As decades passed by, education has become the primary necessity for a child. But now, equal education has become interrogative as a matter of quality in the prevailing situation. To address this issue we have taken up Design Education in Government Schools. It took 8 months for us to reach this place. A complete teamwork and ideology to endeavor the design education to people living in the interior parts. This time, we have taken tools like Design thinking to solve 10 different problems around us. And students were trained through design with skills like problem-solving,
leadership quality, Teamwork, Innovative Thinking, Perpetual thought-provoking and also selfrealization of creative confidence.

Thank you each and everyone who supported, donated, given opportunity, made content, volunteered, motivated us throughout. We are glad to inform that ChalkPiece is stepping into next Level. We are coming live on 10th February ( Monday) to elaborate the further process.
