Alam's most recent teaching experience began in 2020 (till 2022) when she was offered the opportunity to be an international online teacher for stop motion animation, arts and crafts from across the world (North America, Japan, UK and the Middle East) through the platform DIY.org and Toon Club India. She and her students also worked on a project called ‘TRASHIMATIONS’ – creating animations with discarded and trash items, a very personal project for some children.
Below is a video is a compilation of films made by Alam's young students.
