Millennium Fellowship Project: FunWagon
FunWagon is a social enterprise that caters to children between the ages of 6 to 16. Our mission is to organize exciting, interactive cultural activities, promoting experiential learning through excursions and experiences. We communicate the importance of non-STEM subjects, by giving students a platform to emphasize and engage with different forms of the Arts, Culture, History, and more, both in person and virtually. Up until now we have conducted several excursions, including tours to the National Museum, India Gate, Gandhi Smriti and Lodhi Art District, and educational workshops with our NGO partners. Additionally, since the pandemic, we've also started virtual tours on zoom and uploaded Virtual walkthroughs videos on YouTube.
