Lumen Labs is an early stage social venture with a mission to create a sustainable model for rural computer education. We do this through a unique four step process in which we integrate rural data collection with digital learning. First, we set up computer labs in rural communities. Second, we teach students to conduct surveys with their families as part of a class on data-based problem solving. Third, we provide students with the opportunity to work with the data on computers to identify local problems, create data-driven solutions, and gain digital literacy. Fourth and finally, we use data capture software to digitalize the collected data, and provide it to organizations that need hard-to-access rural information. As a member of Kenya’s vibrant start-up community, our work has been profiled by EdTech Nairobi and iHub, and we are a recipient of the Lloyd Greif Center’s NVSC Award. In June 2017, Lumen launched its first lab in Western Kenya, with plans to expand rapidly throughout 2018 and 2019. With a cross cultural team spanning Kenya and the U.S., we are an organization that is committed to providing opportunities for on-the-ground learning, personal growth, and high social impact.
