Anant National University (ANU) Ahmedabad has announced the launch of Anant Summer IsCool, a programme designed to introduce school children and educators to the world of design. Anant Summer IsCool is the first-of-its-kind initiative to engage students and educators in a comprehensive design experience.
The summer school will immerse participants in design through five hands-on workshops led by distinguished designers and experienced Anant faculty. The Graphic Design workshop will cover the basics of graphic design, while the Animation workshop will teach stop-motion animation. In the Product Design workshop, participants will create robots, toys, and basic AR-VR products. The Photography workshop will introduce digital photography, including image editing. Lastly, the Design Experiences workshop will explore designing spaces to enhance human experiences.
Talking about the initiative, Dr. Anunaya Chaubey, Provost, Anant National University, said, “We are excited to launch Anant Summer IsCool and welcome young minds to our campus. This initiative reflects our commitment to nurturing the next generation of thinkers and creators. By introducing Design Thinking to students and educators, we aim to inspire a culture of innovation and problem-solving.”
The field of design extends far beyond the common perception of mere ornamentation and aesthetics. It is a discipline that merges creativity with critical thinking, fosters an interdisciplinary understanding of community, integrates technology and prepares individuals to become adept problem solvers.
