A one-month program, in partnership with the Gilgit-Baltistan government and Agha Khan University, training newly hired education fellows across the region in "Gamifying Math Teaching" — an approach to make mathematics engaging and fun for students. 1,200 fellows were trained across all 10 districts of Gilgit-Baltistan; I personally travelled to and taught in 4 of them.
A one-month summer program at Syedanwala Higher Secondary School, serving students in grades 6–8 with hands-on problem-solving instruction alongside teacher training for the school's own staff.
The Gilgit-Baltistan government's "Summer Fiesta" — a ten-day camp redefining schools as centers of learning and enjoyment over the summer, combining creative learning, extracurriculars, health awareness, field trips, sports, entrepreneurship training, IT bootcamps, and robotics. It brought together the private sector, NGOs, banks, IT institutions, LUMS, NUST, philanthropists, and civil society. LUMS deployed 45 people in 9 teams of 5 — one team per district — each team pairing a leader with four instructors across math circles, machine learning, design thinking, renewable energy, and computer learning.
I became the first PhD student at LUMS to set up a Math Circle in his own village — running two sessions in one day at the village's two government schools (Government Primary School for Boys and Government Middle School for Girls). Dr. Waqas Ali Azhar of the LUMS Math Department later wrote about the initiative in a blog post titled "A candle that lights another loses nothing," calling it "the beginning of a new journey of LUMS Math Circles to inspire young instructors to promote Mathematics at the grassroot level."
Beyond leading my own sessions, I volunteer with LUMS Math Circles' own bi-weekly events at the Math Department — the organization whose mission every initiative above builds on.
