Our work

Technology with a real purpose.

From a first line of Python to access to a digital wallet, our work connects technical skills to something people can use.

A question close to home

Where should we plant more trees?

GreenSight · Bay Area

Our first program · Bay Area

GreenSight

From zero coding to local research.

We launched GreenSight to see what middle schoolers could do with data science and a real local problem. Students learned Python, worked with data, and used machine learning to investigate tree-planting locations in the Bay Area. Their work became a research paper that they shared with local city council members.

  • Python
  • Data analysis
  • Machine learning

What students made

They wrote a research paper identifying the best tree-planting locations and shared it with local city council members.

4 weeks from first code to research

Access makes a difference

Online work. A wallet. A way to get paid.

Women in Afghanistan

A way to receive income.

Under the Taliban, women are shut out of banks, school, and most work. A digital wallet gives them a way to receive income for their families through online education work. We worked directly with Roya Mahboob, founder of the Digital Citizen Fund, Natalie Brunell, founder of Women in Bitcoin, and Speed Wallet to help women set up Bitcoin and USDT wallets.
