From curious, to capable, to building.
The first hands-on workshop series of its kind in Gilgit–Baltistan — students learning the real skills industry runs on, from manufacturing to code to taking an idea to market. Built so youth here can make change.
Give capable students in underserved regions the tools, mentorship, and hands-on engineering experience to move from curious, to capable, to building real things.
A Pakistan where a student’s zip code — not their ability — is no longer the limiting factor on what they can build or become.
Three tracks, one mission
Primary — Free Track
Students in Hunza, selected through application and interview. Cohort 1 targets 50–75 students, secondary school through early college.
Secondary — Paid Track
Students elsewhere in Pakistan, via paid courses and — from Year 2 — a paid 15-day Hunza immersion. A funding mechanism, not a separate mission.
Tertiary — Sandbox Graduates
Hunza program alumni turning a capstone idea into a real venture, supported through the Sandbox incubator from Year 2.
Project STEAM I-skool: a five-course pathway, curious to capable to building
How the program is delivered
Every student leaves the CAD track with a physical part they designed and printed themselves. Every cohort’s capstone projects are pointed, where possible, at real problems in Hunza.
Fund a cohort. Apply to one. Or just say hello.
We run a short call to walk through the curriculum and budget with anyone considering support — donors, partners, and prospective students alike.
