About Project

  • Creative Curriculum Capsules: The Spread Creativity team has developed (continuously evolving) educational content, which follows the creativity learning ladder and covers three subjects. Math, Science and English. The content is delivered as key concepts which are carefully spread across the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. The content delivery allows students to better understand fundamentals of these three subjects; and pushes children to generate and extend ideas, and experiment with imagination.
  • Soccer Camps: The Spread Creativity project supplements capsular classroom learning with soccer camps. Playing soccer helps to inject physical and psychological benefits which in turn fuels innovation and drives competitive spirit among students. One hour football session a day helps develop cooperative response, and other behavioural skills such as leadership and team efforts among children. The learning's thus gained can readily be applied in other school subjects or life situations.
  • Phone Mentoring: Children often wonder whom to ask a science question or a maths puzzle or discuss that burning query? Sad reality is, very few (poor) children have access to anyone to look up to in such moments (curiosity killer!). To address this very basic need of children, Spread Creativity project has launched this mobile tutoring concept (as pilot) to fill in the real life need of guidance among students, especially from under-educated family backgrounds. Phone Mentors are registered on the Spread Creativity portal and upon due diligence are carefully mapped to students of registered schools. The mentors then guide the students remotely.
