Unlocking the creative and artistic potential of kids
With the Next Art & Craft series, we intend to give arts its rightful place in the curriculum. This series aims to develop
creativity and imagination in young children, and hopes to facilitate self expression through art. It will help foster a sense of
uniqueness, artistic skill and do-it-yourself attitude among young learners. The Next Art & Craft series is built with the strong
belief that arts as a subject, holds the same importance in the cognitive development of a child as any other subject.

Powered by artificial intelligence, this personalised learning solution suggests a learning course based on an
individual’s ability and pace of learning. The machine learning techniques discern the learning gaps of each
student and recommend actions to mitigate those.

Adaptive learning supports students who lag behind and at the same time inspires those who
excel in academics to channelise their interests in the right direction.

The assessments are adapted to suit the capability of each student to gauge their individual
understanding of concepts.
