The mission
The 1 Billion Students Project
1,000,000,000
13,000+ students reached · 0.0013% · day one
Teach one billion students in my lifetime. With AI-native tools, a team of two or three can reach a scale that used to take thousands of people — so I'm building it in public, one student at a time.
