The volunteers learned about Ek Tara’s programs and recommended improvements through technology, focusing on tracking student growth and streamlining operations. Skilled volunteers suggested solutions for centralizing data, simplifying reporting, facilitating communication, and integrating tools to enhance the educational experience.
The ideas and solutions generated during the design workshop informed a follow-up strategic pro bono project. By leveraging their professional skills, Adobe volunteers assisted Ek Tara in strengthening their learning center program.
