Our Vision
Tiny & Great was founded to address educational inequality through direct impacts on students in underserved communities. This need became especially evident when we witnessed the significant gap between students with access to resources and those without during COVID. As co-founders, we saw firsthand the effects of this disparity on both teachers and students, and we realized the potential impact of our work at Tiny & Great. Our purpose became clear: to bridge this gap by providing educational enrichment opportunities that empower students from underrepresented and underprivileged communities.
By developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills through coding, we aim to equip students in the U.S., Nigeria, Senegal, and beyond with the tools and mindset to become creative problem-solvers in their communities. Our focus includes:
Student-Led Online Coding Enrichment: Introducing coding to students with access to computers, guided by experienced student programmers.
Volunteer-Led Community Technology and Coding Outreach: Bringing technology and coding education to communities with limited access through creative, unplugged activities and hands-on experiences.
We believe that when each of us makes our own "tiny" contributions, we create the potential for a "great" collective impact. Together, we can empower students to reach their full potential and build a more equitable future. We invite you to join us in this journey, making 'tiny' steps that lead to 'great' impacts.
