We partner with the African Library Project and set a goal to collect books and donations to build one to two libraries each year in African schools and villages. We have been named 2018, 2019 and 2020 Global Literacy Champion for building libraries in Ghana and Uganda.
We organize and form middle school and high school student teams to participant in Hackathons and App Challenges, such as San Ramon Hackathon, Congressonal App Challenge, MIT Appthon, and MetroHacks. We also host workshops and programming classes to help to train the competition teams.
VEX Robotics is a robotics program and competition for elementary through university students. We partner with Robot Garden and formed the VEX robotics team to compete in VEX V5 (previously VEX EDR) leagues.
Many underprivileged kids do not have the resources to learn computer programming, an essential skill in this fast-changing technological era. Our goal is to effectuate peer-to-peer assistance through sharing, collaborating, and collective learning in this area of technology.
We provide training and organize events on Entrepreneurship, Career Exploration and summer internship. We also form high-school and middle-school student teams to attend competitions on innovation, business and startup.
At Green Apple Education Foundation, our mission is to provide educational resources and support to underprivileged youth. We believe that every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of their background. By focusing on community engagement and innovative programs, we strive to empower young minds and help them reach their full potential.
