Building a Future that Includes All of Us
summary
Chess in Slums uses chess as a low‑cost tool to teach reasoning, produce school scholarships and route kids into tech pathways, reporting over 50,000 children taught across ~30 African countries and aiming for 1 million in a decade. Programs create community centers, run tournaments that win local and international seats, partner to build a Chess Innovation Hub in Lagos, and introduce tools like Meta Quest 3 VR to spark imagination — the model scales and shows measurable education and opportunity outcomes.
