How you can help

There are many ways
to get involved.

There is no single model for partnership. The most meaningful collaborations come from finding the right fit — for your organisation and for ours.

01
Support the Foundation directly

Charitable donations — from individuals or organisations — directly fund course development, open-source materials, and bursaries. Every contribution helps us reach one more person who wouldn't have had access otherwise.

02
Fund a student or a cohort

Help make the course accessible to students who couldn't otherwise afford it. You can fund a single kit, sponsor a full cohort, or contribute to our bursary fund for underrepresented learners.

03
Host a course at your institution

Partner with us to bring the No Black Boxes curriculum — in any of its three tracks — to your students, researchers, or community. We handle the teaching; you provide the space and the cohort.

04
Offer internships or projects

Our top students are talented, hands-on, and looking for opportunities. If your organisation can offer an internship, a supervised project, or a research placement, we want to hear from you.

05
Connect us with your network

Know researchers, teachers, students, or institutions who would benefit from what we do? Introductions are one of the most powerful things you can offer — and they cost nothing.

06
Join an advisory board

We are building five specialist advisory boards — Neuroscience, Education, Finance, Social Impact, and Certification & Industry. If you have expertise to contribute, see our governance page.

Why it matters

What your support
makes possible.

Technology is no longer a specialist skill — it is the foundation of modern science, modern work, and modern life. Yet most people never get the chance to understand how it really works.

"The goal is to explain away the mysteries of technology — so everyone can focus on the mysteries that actually matter."

No Black Boxes was built on the belief that understanding technology from first principles — not just using it — is something everyone deserves access to. Your partnership helps us make that real.
