THE DEFINING CHALLENGE OF OUR TIME

How Would You Educate
A Billion Kids?

AI is transforming the job market faster than schools can adapt. If we don’t act, we risk a generation left behind, unemployed and disconnected.

But there’s hope.

Many of today’s tech leaders started not in classrooms, but by playing and building games. And that’s our opportunity. If we channel energy from playing to creating, we can teach youth the skills needed to thrive in an AI and digital future. Our mission is to create a future where everyone is a skilled creator.

The project that teaches everything

What if one project could teach coding, storytelling, design, management, marketing, psychology, even ethics?

Game making is that project. It blends logic and creativity, engages both sides of the brain, and turns learning into a joyful, collaborative journey. From idea to launch, students build real products, face real challenges, and develop the full spectrum of skills: technical, creative, and entrepreneurial.

It’s not just a game. They take those skills into real industry. It’s the ultimate learning experience.

Where students and
pros converge

At Endless, we open up professional game projects to students and contributors around the world. Open source projects have shown the power of swarms building ambitious projects. We are building games in the open, where students gain real experience, receive mentorship, and leave with portfolios that prove what they can do. Studios get quality work and fresh ideas. Students get a launchpad into the digital economy. Everyone levels up.

Everyone deserves the tools to create

For over a decade, we’ve worked to remove the barriers that keep too many learners locked out. That’s why we’ve fought for universal access: building offline tools, addressing device affordability, and creating learning environments that work from urban classrooms to remote villages.

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity should be too.

Discover Endless Access

One mission, three organizations

At Endless, we use every tool available to pursue one mission:
preparing youth for this digital world.

Endless Studios

Through Studios, we build.

Endless Studios is our in-house game studio where students, educators, and professional developers collaborate to build games, learning real-world skills in the process.

By building, funding, and investing, we work toward a single belief:
that when players become creators, they gain the skills to build their own future.

Our Initiatives

The skills and tools for everyone

To thrive in the digital world, young people need two things: the skills to succeed, and the tools to access those skills. We deliver both through three connected programs. We use games for learning to teach youth real digital skills by turning their passion for play into the ability to build. We enable device access so that cost isn’t a barrier to participation. And we invest in offline internet solutions to reach communities where connectivity is limited. No one should be left out of the future simply because they lack a laptop or an internet connection.

Our mission

Great Projects Around The World

Our work has reached communities across the world. We’ve partnered with local organizations, governments, and educators to deliver coding education, digital literacy tools, and creative learning experiences to underserved populations. By adapting our initiatives to diverse cultural and technological contexts, we’ve helped unlock opportunities for thousands of young learners and empowered them to thrive in the digital age.

“I learned many things in the Endless Studios program that would have taken me much longer to learn elsewhere.”

- Deborah, NYU AD Student

“This was exactly what I thought I would be doing. The level of support we got from Endless Studios while making our game was exactly what we needed. It worked perfectly!”

- Faris, AUD Student

“You have no idea how cool this was!!! It was like it was another dimension of learning”

- Michael Barret, Teacher

Our vision: The whole world, empowered.

We believe youth should shape technology, not be shaped by it. We imagine a world where every child is a creator. A world where kids are pulled not just into playing games, but into building them, and in the process, become coders, designers, storytellers, and changemakers.

What would the world look like if every teen grew up with the tools to challenge the injustices of the modern world? What if the next generation could not just use technology, but use it to rebuild what’s broken?
If we succeed, we’ll see the answer in the world around us.
