Review for TeachAids, Stanford, CA, USA
TeachAids is an awesome nonprofit! I’ve always deeply valued the importance of giving back to the communities around us. So when a friend reached out asking if I'd be willing to volunteer for TeachAids, I was interested to learn more. What I discovered blew me away! Nestled in the heart of Silicon Valley, TeachAids is a powerful network of incredibly talented people (of all ages) working together to utilize technology to benefit humanity. It was inspiring to see the diverse array of individuals from world class researchers, leading neurosurgeons and infectious disease experts, working together with young people to build incredible technologies focussed on improving human health. What struck me was how genuine everyone was and how collaboratively the teams worked together. I’ve found many kindred spirits at TeachAids, including the founder Dr. Piya Sorcar and another long-time advisor Aparna Khare. The hight school and college students have been an absolute joy to work with. We all share the common love for lifetime learning.
Amidst the pandemic, when much of the world shut-down, TeachAids was going strong. We had more than 1,500 volunteers working together (remotely) to build education products to improve the lives of our youth globally. It was hugely inspiring to watch the TeachAids products come together amidst the challenges around the world.
For anyone serious about wanting to solve global health problems, TeachAids is the place to be. It's rare to see an organization so mission driven and focussed on excellence in every way. I've been a technology advisor for TeachAids for three years now, helping to build complex technical systems. I plan to be with them for a lifetime.
