Unmukt Foundation[1] in India runs after school programs for poor kids to get them technology education. We're looking for people who can teach Python, Arduino, anything else. They make best use of low-cost resources. Check out the Ard

Interesting. My company is in the immigration space and we were considering a product to help distributed remote startups to organize group "off-sites". If you'd like, please reach out on the email in my profile.
