Suj Premachandran shares how Digital Influx brings UX to children, how they integrate Eastern educational philosophy, and the challenge of changing archaic education systems.

Highlights include:

How are you helping children to become creative thinkers and designers?
Are some of Digital Influx’s practices too ‘foreign’ for UK educators?
How are you bringing design to people of colour through Digital Influx?
What inspiration have you taken from non-Western education systems?
Why do students create projects related to UN Sustainable Development Goals?
