To ignite the dreamers, visionaries and problem solvers of tomorrow, Global Teacher has developed the world’s first 3D printed offline, off-grid educational kit. Our mission is to inspire one million hard to reach children in remote areas of the world. The product is designed and manufactured in the North-East of England, with 1000s of leading learning materials and is looking to begin international trials.

0According to the United Nations, 15% of the world's adults are illiterate.
We asked, why?
Why, in 2022, can over one billion people not read or write.
It turns out, around the world there are many barriers to education. Distance from home to school. Gender discrimination. Insufficient funding. Oversized classes.
But when we asked experts in this field, 68% said simply, a lack of educational resources is the biggest barrier.
For example, in Cameroon, one textbook is shared between twelve children. This isn't a feasible way to learn.
To solve this problem, currently, second-hand textbooks are shipped around the world to rural and marginalised schools.
A shipment is expensive, time consuming and donated books aren't always up to date or culturally appropriate.
We're innovating this supply chain by creating a new method of donation.
The donation of digital education.
We've built a software platform, named Lumi that provides offline access to the world's best content providers.
On the ground, our first-of-its-kind solar-powered project, named Pod, gives access to this high quality content, off-grid.
Pod is designed and manufactured, in-house, right here in Sunderland.
Our mission is to empower 1,000,000 marginalised students through access to information.
At our core, we believe exposure and access to good quality education can spark and catalyse positive change.
And ignite the problem solvers, dreamers and do'ers of this world.
This is why we exist.
