EKANSHA LALWANI - CLASS OF 2022
Do people realise how lucky they are?
Do we as one species realise how vulnerable we are?
Do families who's worries revolve around picking "Little Joey" up from practice and what they will do for family vacation this summer realise that they have been blessed with a "normal" family? And do families that have an autistic family member realise that they too, have been blessed?
My mother has been a special educator for 7yrs. My observation of her teaching special children with love, care and compassion has always led me to questions on the many challenges faced by educators today. Realising how the landscape of education for regular school going children is changing and advancing through the introduction of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, its time for special education needs to be met!
My final year thesis will explore how AIML could bring changes in special education sector thereby making the new normal...normal for all!
Design Solution
After understanding how AIML have made leaps and downs in the current market with leaving behind a wide selection choice of existing tools and applications to improve the learning process and problem solving for special children and parents. It can be observed that this leads the users to be confused and makes it time-consuming for them to choose the right aid to solve their problem.
Keeping Camlin as my parent brand. I have designed a special platform under Camlin for children with special needs called "The Special Circle".
“The Special Circle” is a platform to help those who learn and think differently. They discover their potential, take control and stay on a positive path along each stage of life’s journey. The CSR campaign for special children provides a platform by listing down and segregating all the existing tools and applications available in the current market and providing additional assistance for parents and children’s needs. Thereby, making it easier for them to choose the right option for their special ones.
CSR Campaign
Camlin believes in taking up the initiative to give back to the community and bring smiles whenever possible. The Camlin ‘Kids Power’ initiative focuses on several issues plaguing the Nation and society at large to promote awareness on current social issues amongst everyone.
The objective was to create a CSR campaign under the most trusted brand in India, Camlin which is know for its Art and stationary supply. The brand believes in giving back to the society. The motive of the campaign is to spread awareness about Autism.
