About us

We are a group of volunteers from EduExplora that want to provide an online learning opportunity, especially for rising seniors who are affected by canceled summer programs. We’ve created a 2-week program based on a course the instructor, Raj Bhargava, who teaches at the Stanford Pre-Collegiate Program to high school students.

Mission

To create resilient entrepreneurs who can tackle real-world problems that have emerged due to the current pandemic using human-centered design and business model techniques.
