Description

Our team believes in quality, affordable, and accessible education for all. Thinkr Labs core mission is the improvement of the educational system using Web3 technology. We’ll start by using NFT’s to fund a scholarship and stipend program for college students.
The Lovelace Scholarship Program, which is the first real world utility of our NFT is designed to benefit underprivileged college students by allowing them to graduate debt free while also providing a monthly living stipend. As the cost of college education continues to rise in the United States, we feel it’s more important than ever to give deserving students a greater chance of success post-graduation by relieving them from the burden of college debt. Not only that, but by paying a monthly living stipend to the students in the program, it will allow them to focus 100% of their time on their schoolwork which will garner better academic results. This scholarship is modeled after the National Science Foundation’s Scholarship for Service program, without all the strings attached. We look forward to changing the lives of every student who is fortunate enough to be part of the Lovelace Scholarship Program.
Our founding team members consists of eight people, with seven being students currently enrolled in undergraduate or graduate studies. Four are pursuing a M.S. in Computer Science with a specialization in Computer Security from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. One is attending the University of Rhode Island pursuing a M.P.A. with a Cyber Security Graduate Certificate. One of our artists graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a B.F.A and is currently studying at USC pursuing a M.F.A. Our other artist is also studying at RISD in pursuit of a B.F.A. Our last founding member has years of leadership experience working at Fortune 500 companies.
The road ahead is long, so join us in our journey to empower students and change education for the better.
