In a previous interaction with students at IDC, education emerged as one of the key areas that designers could engage with. Today's interaction would seek to understand approaches to education; it would explore how design may be understood not just as a problem-solving-activity but through an engagement with society and certain philosophical ideas, serve as a useful tool for framing relevant policies for our times.

'Zero Sum' - An educational game based on maths, designed by Industrial Design Center was launched by Gakken, Japan on 1st may in the presence of Indian Ambassador, Gakken officials and other dignitaries. Zero Sum was designed by students Priya Ganadas, Chandni Kabra and alumnus Ashish Ganu under the guidance of Prof Athavankar. The game was designed to playfully teach children (age group 6 and above) basic arithmetic operations and order of operations, focusing on achieving a high repeat play value even after the concept of the game is understood.

Game consists of number chips, power cards and zero badges and can be played in a group of 4 to 5. Zero Sum was conceived during Prof Athavankar's 'Game Design' module last year and was later redesigned to suit Japanese audience.

'Zero Sum' has pioneered first of its kind collaboration between Gakken Group, and IIT Bombay. We are thrilled to further shape this relationship with Gakken, an established leader in education.
