" Adaptability and problem-solving, fueled by clear and systems thinking, drive my art and my work. Being a part of the Millennium Fellowship will enhance these skills collaboratively. The skills I gain from my time with the Millennium Fellowship will make my social impact journey in schools and educational communities more tangible and aligned with the UNAI principles and SDGs. I am excited to increase anticipatory competence by envisioning new ways of learning and knowledge assimilation. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: The Make It Stick Project
The Make-It-Stick Project is an informative and interactive project that aims to sensitize the student populace at various levels of education about the art of learning. This isn’t just another study program; it’s a movement dedicated to transforming how students learn and connect with knowledge. Together with my amazing team, we’re diving deep into the science of learning to bring students the tools and strategies they need to learn effectively at every level—whether they’re in primary school or at university. We’re here to help students master how to learn, not just what to learn. Our inspiration? Sustainable Development Goal 4: ensuring quality education for all.
The Make-It-Stick Project aims to help introduce a new structure to how learning can be carried out in various educational institutions (Basic, Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary) at student and class levels. It employs various test practices that reveal the weak points in the lecturing-learning chain and offers alternative study methods that students can employ to help increase their effectiveness based on their preferences. We hope to effectively improve everyday decision-making and maximize the opportunities presented to students and individuals of any cohort at large with the mastery of the inherent skill of learning.
