@Starlink@elonmusk Hi @elonmusk ! I’m Sofie! I’m an architecture student at Stanford and founder of BloomBox Design Labs. We will reach 1 million students in the next 5 years with state of the art education technology and Starlink! The future of education is access. 📚🚀⭐️

So far, over 10,000 students are learning in connected environments for the first time and 78% of students are using a computer for the first time.
Test scores are improving, and more students than ever before are getting into university.
Starlink is providing high-speed internet to BloomBox Design Labs, a non-profit that transforms shipping containers into solar powered computer classrooms in Malawi 🛰️❤️
I’ve learned that launching a startup is hard and inspiring and creative and deeply personal. Honored to have the BloomBox Design Labs story featured in the California Business Journal. Let’s keep going⭐️🫶🏼

This (and every) #Thanksgiving I am grateful for our BloomBox team! 💚 We are excited to continue to work towards the Ministry’s vision for 70 labs in the next 3 years to support design-thinking curricula for 70,000 students. Big update to come on Monday. ⭐️ Happy Thanksgiving!
How lucky are the beneficiaries! EdTech is a formidable scaffolding that is crucial in supporting teaching and learning especially in times of crisis. Congratulations to @roux_sofie for this achievement.
This week teachers at two schools in Blantyre, #Malawi received some additional @Keepod & #Kolibri training to prepare for reopening next week. The training always ends with a #KolibriFly & this was inside NBSS’s new #BloomBox classroom designed, built & installed by @roux_sofie
Very excited to be collaborating w/ Stanford freshman Sofie Roux (@roux_sofie), who built a solar-powered shipping container computer lab at the New Beginnings (NB) School in Malawi. The World Librarians @WL_UMass student team is now processing the 1st content request from NB.
Really excited about this interview with @Medium. It was an honor to have the chance to tell our story. ⭐️ Please check it out.

We’re so wowed by 2020 Barron Prize Honoree Sofie, who just returned from Malawi where she installed her first BloomBox, a shipping container turned solar-powered learning lab! We love her passion for supporting sustainable development and education in Africa!
