Honored to Mentor at Shaastra 2025! 🎉

Written By Play Therapy with Anya

I've been invited ​to mentor at Shaastra, IIT Madras ReWire’s toy design competition, Cognify. Shaastra ReWire is the world’s first ISO 9001:2008 certified student-organised event and the largest technical fest in Asia. I'll be mentoring brilliant minds in crafting neuroscience-backed, non-electronic toys for the neurodivergent community. I’ll lead workshops to dive deep into cognitive neuroscience and developmental principles, helping participants design toys that foster inclusivity and support neurodivergent needs.

In Round 2, I’ll provide guidance and feedback to help teams refine their designs, integrating neuroscience and developmental insights into each creation. With a potential partnership with Hamleys on the horizon, I’m thrilled to be part of such a meaningful mission to make play accessible and enriching for every child. 💙 ✨
