A kolam (pronounced kohl·uhm) is an Indian art form of geometric patterns, used as a sign of welcome. Drawn outside homes, the beautiful designs made of dots and lines provide a sense of joy and calm to all who enter. Traditionally hand-drawn with rice flour, kolams are inclusive and eco-friendly. Redrawn daily, kolams share the ephemeral and meditative qualities of Native American sand paintings and Buddhist mandalas.
The dots on a kolam depict hardships in life, and the lines drawn around the dots represent the way we navigate around our struggles and turn our lives into a beautiful mosaic work of art. Your kolam submissions are beams of good energy to solve problems and to help foster the beautiful patterns of diversity and inclusivity in America.
Vanakkam ("welcome") Kolam - a digital kolam made of individual kolam selfies (people could draw, color, or simply print a kolam and click a photo alongside). The digital kolam is interactive and enables you to see the individual submissions.
Participate in 4 Easy Steps!
Official Inauguration video completed. Share your kolam anyway :)

The year is now 2040. You have graduated from college, you are now a 32 or 33 year old adult. (Hint: I added 20 years to the 12 or 13 year old that you are now.)
1) Write about your life and what it is like in the year 2040. (Yes, you are pretending that it is 2040 right now)
Think about the advancements in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics.
Now, write it all up for me in a Google Doc. Every time you change topics, create a new paragraph.
When you're done, upload your Google Doc here.
Then... You're going to create a cover page that represents you in the future. We'll get into the details together later. For now, just create your cover page. Decorate it, color it, add graphics to it, add a movie, add a song, etc. Do whatever you know how to do and make it something you will be proud of and excited to show the others.
Have Fun with It!!!!!! I can't wait to see your creations! See you all tomorrow... 👋😃
