Our impact

200+ students, and a lot of borrowed classrooms.

We do not have an office. We have a laptop, a projector when the room has one, and material we give away. Here is what that has added up to so far.

200+

students reached across rural Nepal and the Indian subcontinent

programs, every one of them free

free guides and decks, published openly

100%

volunteer-run, non-profit, no tuition ever

Teaching Wolfram Alpha for maths and science to students, with a projector showing the tool — Wolfram Alpha for maths and science, a tool that calculates rather than predicts.

Students watching a projected slide explaining how Wolfram Alpha works — “How does this actually work?” is the question that runs the session.

What the school said

They wrote about it themselves.

Having studied computer engineering on a full scholarship at Vellore Institute of Technology in India, and now giving free AI training at school level in Nepal, he provided training to the students of grades 9 and 10 at our school. He is currently studying at master's level in Australia on a scholarship., Er. Utsav Poudel (AI Engineer)

Free AI training for grades 9 and 10

Shree Pardi Secondary School

Pokhara-17, Pardi, Kaski, Nepal · 27 May 2026

A full session for school students on using AI as a study tool rather than a shortcut, covering Wolfram Alpha for maths and science, and the honest question the students themselves keep asking: “Why use AI to study? Doesn't it make us dumb?”

What we covered

Using AI to explain difficult topics in simple ways
Wolfram Alpha for maths and science
Where AI weakens independent and critical thinking
The key balance: learn with AI, don't let AI learn for you

AI Basics, a two-day workshop

Leafclutch Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Nepal · March 2026

Two days from first principles to practice: why AI broke open in the 2020s, how models actually learn, and what a career and a research pipeline in the field really look like.

What we covered

Foundations: from the Turing test to generative AI
Mechanics of learning: linear regression to neural networks
The generative leap: attention, transformers, and LLMs
How images become numbers: computer vision basics
Automating everyday tasks with simple Python
AI careers, role responsibilities, and how research gets done

How to Publish Research as an Undergraduate

Fulcrum open webinar

Online

55+ students, promoted by word of mouth alone

Our first open session, and the one that showed us how much unmet demand there was. Most participants rated their familiarity with academic publishing at 1 or 2 out of 5 beforehand; an hour later that had shifted sharply. Health professionals, including nurses, joined alongside engineering and science undergraduates.

What we covered

Finding a research question worth asking as an undergraduate
Structuring a paper a journal will take seriously
Choosing a venue and preparing a submission
Surviving peer review and revisions
Where AI genuinely helps in medicine and clinical research
