Our Impact

Developed AI Ethics and Drug Awareness curricula adopted by Forsyth County Schools and national nonprofits like SADD.  Educational enrichment workshops typically cost $450–$750 per session (content development, materials, travel). With 20+ global workshops, the total value approximates $12,000.   Mentorship: $32K Facilitated free tutoring and coordinated the Harvard OpenBio Student Research Institute, pairing students with PhD-level mentors to democratize access to research. Programs like Pioneer Academics and Polygence charge $4K–$6K per student for research mentorship. Adjusting for our 70-student SRI cohort and volunteer-based delivery, we conservatively value our contribution at $32,000.   Fundraising & Donations: $6K Collected over 1,200 lbs of clothes and resources for families in Georgia and Brazil, built an environmental learning arbor, and supported youth in Nigeria and Zimbabwe. We estimated $3.20/lb for collected resources (based on Salvation Army valuation guidelines), plus direct funds raised for environmental and international projects.   These initiatives have delivered over $50,670 in educational and community value to students worldwide entirely free of cost.
