Current Project: Book 

I am a Grade X student at Sat Paul Mittal School, India. I am 15  years old and the official Minecraft Student Ambassador by Microsoft.  Inspired by my own motto #EachOneTeachTen, I have spent the last four  years designing and delivering free of cost coding workshops for more  than 10,000 teachers, young people, especially girls, in India and all  over the world, as well as empowering other young people to run their  own coding clubs. I have raised awareness about the social issues using  game based learning with STEM to provide solutions for the problems  humanity faces.
I have been honoured with the prestigious  Pradhanmantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar 2021, Diana Award 2021 Global Child  Prodigy Award 2022. I am honoured to be the winner of the UNESCO World  Youth Multimedia Competition, TeachSDGs Ambassador, Rex Karamaveer  Bronze Medal Awardee, Global E-Innovation Award Winner, Youngest Global  Juror. At Adobe, I have attained the ACE1 and ACE 2certifications. I am a  dynamic speaker and has presented about the potential of STEM and  game-based learning at events such as KEOS2019 Finland, EduDays  Microsoft, UNESCO, ISTE, CSLA, CONVOKE, Asia Berlin Summit,  EdChatInteractive, Azure Conference and Adobe Education Summit.

We tend to think of global learning experience as something acquired  through global visits. I got an opportunity to become a member in many  global projects that have not only taught me empathy but also helped me  to explore my technical skills and gain awareness of the world beyond.  All these projects were interdisciplinary with focus on Sustainable  Development Goals. I was the active participant of these projects like  Everyday Kindness, No Poverty and Zero Hunger, Buncee Buddies Earth Day  Project, #DIY4EARTH, Innovation Project, Climate Action Project, Say No  To Plastic, converted tough lessons into STEM using MINECRAFT.
