Financial Analyst
Hello, my name is Devin Nakano, I run Y STEM and Chess Inc. a nonprofit. We teach underserved children chess, math, and computer science to help them pursue STEM majors/professions using STEM professionals to teach. The children are K-12 and %99 don’t pay a dime because their families cannot afford STEM and Chess tutoring.
Y STEM and Chess Inc. has an open-source project for remote tutoring in chess and mentoring. We have a massive waitlist but lack the technical resources to meet that demand. Not only will you help a great cause but also gain experience as a web dev.
