Ramana Maharishi Academy for the Blind

Different kinds of fun-filled auditory equipment, that can lend itself to creative use have been installed. The Elephant Slide has bells alongside the steps such that as the children climb, so do the notes! Tubular bells, set to the notes of Hindolamragam, drums made from gas cylinders and a Sound Strip consisting of many sound-making instruments mounted on a frame -  extend the musical experience. Sculptures of turtles with a textured surface and a Wall mural, made of alphabets and numbers in English and Braille was something that fascinated the children. It lends itself to many kinds of games and also serves to sensitise visitors on the Braille language.

 

Mathru Educational Trust for the Blind

In this school Kilikili helped create an indoor play space (due to space cosntraints) that includeBraille Wall Murals in English and Kannada, a Knots and Crosses game,  Tanagram puzzles and an installation with nuts and bolts and elastic ropes that would enable children form different shapes as well as help children teach mathematical concepts have been constructed. Musical drums as well as a Singing Stone have been installed. The most wonderful thing about this project is that  engaging at the Play Space has been incorporated into the time table thus ensuring sustained use.
