Right to Education
Center for Policy Research · RTE Act
Brief collaborated with researchers at the Center for Policy Research on analyzing demographic data from the Right to Education Act. Our primary concern was making policy recommendations around the tradeoff of building public schools closer or farther away from villages. This has downstream impact on the ability to staff schools and student attendance. Opened my eyes to underexplored problems at the interface of computer science and public policy.
TEDx
Built a team of over 40 amazing people across a breadth of backgrounds. Invited to attend the first ever TEDx workshop in Mysore, India where met with TEDxers who'd traveled from all over the world just to teach one another the ins and outs of putting on a great event. The final lineup of speakers was incredible: from engineers who designed CubeSats to founders making devices to help people with hearing disabilities dance in sync with music.
Toys from Trash
A long, long time ago, interviewed Arvind Gupta for a Children's Day special on making toys from everyday objects, to illustrate scientific principles.
