Learning that's free, and open to everyone.

Brainfloss Foundation works to widen access to quality education in India. We're starting with technology, where the gap between what's taught and what's needed is widest.

Why we exist

Where a student comes from shouldn't decide what they get to learn.

Too many students in India finish their education without ever using the tools their future employers rely on. The courses that close that gap usually cost money, assume a head start, or never reach smaller towns.

How we're going about it.

One stage at a time, each building on the last.

  1. 01
    Under way

    Phase 1 · Awareness

    Campus workshops

    Free, hands-on sessions at colleges and universities, run by people who work in the field.

  2. 02
    In development

    Phase 2 · Learning

    Free video courses

    A library of well-made courses, free to watch, so learning carries on after the workshop.

  3. 03
    Planned

    Phase 3 · Opportunity

    Scholarships and bursaries

    Financial support for students who have the ability and the drive, but not the means.

Who we're for.

Students at colleges, universities and polytechnics across India. We make a point of reaching girls from rural and low-income communities, and institutions outside the big cities that rarely get this kind of attention.
