Eight places, one approach.
Each program is anchored by a long-term relationship with educators, faculty, or community leaders on the ground. The work looks different in each place, but the commitments are the same.
Molokai
Working with teachers on Molokai to bring AI and computer science curriculum into local classrooms — designed around place-based pedagogy and the island's own context.
Taiwan
Volunteer teaching at two middle schools in rural Hsinchu, organized in partnership with ITRI — bringing AI and entrepreneurship education to students an hour outside Taiwan's high-tech capital.
Vietnam
In December 2024, the Foundation ran programming in Vietnam — inspired and co-taught by Bao Phan, a former student of co-founder Chuck Eesley — in partnership with Fulbright University Vietnam, UEH University, and an HKU/AWS workshop on AI Innovation & Trends.
Malaysia
AI literacy and design thinking workshops for educators and students in partnership with the Penang Science Cluster, leading Malaysian universities, the U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, and the All-Party Parliamentary Group on the SDGs. The 2025 Penang program trained roughly 25 teachers, reaching on the order of 2,500 students through a 100:1 per-teacher multiplier model.
Tanzania
In June 2023, the Foundation taught at the LOHADA orphanage in Tanzania alongside James Juma — a former student of co-founder Chuck Eesley who built the connection — and Abisola, a former Stanford PhD student who co-taught. The Foundation also raised funds for a tractor for the orphanage.
MIT MEET
Supporting MIT MEET — a program that brings Israeli and Palestinian high school students together for advanced computer science and entrepreneurship education, with the conviction that shared work on technology can build the relationships their region needs.
Uganda
Funding microloans for refugee entrepreneurs in Uganda alongside research on what makes entrepreneurship training work for displaced founders. Delivered in partnership with Challenges Uganda (microlending pilot and mentorship) and Makerere University Business School (curriculum and research).
San Francisco State University
The Foundation's first university partnership. Launched during the pandemic, the SFSU Mentorship Program connected Computer Science majors with SFSU alumni for mock technical interviews and career guidance. The Foundation's direct involvement has since wound down, but the program continues today within the SFSU CS department and its alumni network — sustained by the relationships the partnership helped activate.
