The festival will also feature engaging events such as the Design Thinking Challenge where students will engage in creative problem-solving to address real-world situations, the Learning Showcase where our students will present their holistic learning experiences and a Panel Discussion about rethinking our approach to education while envisioning a world without boundaries. Together, these events resonate Ekya’s commitment to redefining K-12 education.
