Transforming education through innovation
Support a vibrant ecosystem of social-makers and innovators who are working to enhance education equity.
Open innovation for education
Many schools in the Global South lack adequate infrastructure for learning. To bridge this gap, open source grassroots education initiatives play a vital role, empowering local communities to tackle changing educational needs in fair and inclusive ways.
GIG helps its members collaborate on open innovation projects for education. These projects include robotics, STEM learning, and hands-on activities in community workshops.
Help them continue the good work.
