If you are a K-12 student interested in learning about engineering solutions to climate change, the history of women in our country, whatever it may be, Curious Cardinals provides resources and mentorship to cultivate those curiosities. We call it mentorship, because it’s not traditional tutoring. It’s not just about what you want to learn — it’s about who you want to learn from, someone who[m] you can relate to and identify with. You can learn one-on-one from a college student, and we pay the college students $40 to $60 an hour so that everyone benefits in this ecosystem we’re creating. In spring 2020, we decided to take time away from Stanford to work on Curious Cardinals full time. In June 2020, we hired our first full-time employee. Now there are seven of us, and we completed our first seed round of funding and raised $4.25 million this summer.
