@Antifragile ... you help out at a charity that's got a great mission. Can you describe what do they do?

Thanks for the tag, Andy.

Our charity aims to create an army of innovators. It empowers teachers and inspires young minds. We equip students with the skills, mindset, and adaptability needed to navigate an ever-changing landscape, encouraging them to set ambitious goals, push their boundaries, and embrace innovative thinking.

We do that by providing a curriculum program at schools for kids grades 4 to 8 that teaches how to start their first business. They get grades (meaning it’s not an after-school program) and get to keep profits too. Many kids come from absolutely nothing, have no money or family support. Our charity doesn’t just create entrepreneurs (which most won’t be!) but ignites interests in other subjects.

We see kids who hated math getting interested, why? Because they need to calculate their profit margin!

It’s remarkable what young minds can do.
