Introduction to TouchDesigner - IIT Kanpur, Kanpur

Date: 3rd March 2024

Duration: 3 Days 

I led two workshops at IIT Kanpur. The first was a 3-day intensive introducing students to the fundamentals of generative art and TouchDesigner, with hands-on exploration of audio-reactive visuals and real-time design techniques.

​

The second was a 2-week credited online course specifically designed for second-year B.Tech students. Participants engaged deeply with all major TouchDesigner operators TOPs, CHOPs, SOPs, and DATs developing a strong grasp of interactive workflows. Their computer science backgrounds enriched the experience, with Arduino and robotics-based concepts culminating in a final exhibition of innovative and technically rich student projects.

Introduction to TouchDesigner - Rishihood University, Sonipat

Date: 13th April 2025
Duration: 2 Weeks

This was a 2-week physical workshop conducted on campus for students across disciplines at Rishihood University. We explored all major TouchDesigner operator families TOPs, CHOPs, SOPs, and DATs while introducing core concepts in generative design and interactive media.

​

Students engaged in hands-on learning around audio reactivity, motion tracking, MIDI mapping, AI integration, and MediaPipe-based interaction. The workshop encouraged experimentation beyond screens, culminating in a final exhibition where students presented projection-mapped installations that brought their ideas into immersive physical space.

Introduction to Digital Animation - FLAME University, Pune

Date: 18th August 2025
Duration: 1 Month

This month-long workshop introduced Design Minor students to the fundamentals of digital animation using Adobe After Effects.

​

It focused on core animation principles like timing, spacing, and motion arcs, along with the technical aspects of the graph editor, keyframing, and composition setup.

​

Assignments were designed around each student’s personal interests, helping them connect creative ideas to engaging, theme-based animated scenes. The workshop concluded with a showreel showcasing their final works and unique approaches to animation.

Hands-on workshops conducted at universities introduce students to the world of motion design and new media. Each program is thoughtfully structured around duration and learning goals, ranging from focused two-week sessions to month-long explorations. Curated weekly assignments and guided exercises encourage students to apply design principles, experiment with tools, and create outcomes that bridge creativity and digital technology.
