Light Up Kathmandu: Tihar Adventures


Inspiration for Integrating Tihar Festivals and three iconic Kathmandu landmarks in the Curriculum:

Dharahara: Transform a symbol of resilience into a beacon of Tihar joy with interactive lights and educational content.

Rani Pokhari: Create an immersive soundscape of traditional Tihar music using sensor-based audio installations.

Ghantaghar: Program Tihar melodies into the iconic chimes, turning the clock tower into a festive announcer for the city.

Overall Curriculum Goals:

  1. Encourage students to apply coding and electronics skills to celebrate and enhance cultural traditions.
  2. Promote creativity and innovation in using technology to tell stories and connect with history.
  3. Foster a sense of community and inclusivity through interactive installations accessible to all.
