We’re a multi-award winning EdTech and Services company, trusted by hundreds of schools across the world to help them provide their students with the tools and resources they need to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
At 8billionideas, we are proud of our progress and impact over the years. We are excited to continue making a difference in students' lives worldwide.
2021
In the wake of the pandemic, the educational landscape faced unprecedented challenges. An eye-opening survey with 1000+ parents revealed that over a third of college students felt ill-prepared for professional life. In 2021, 8billionideas was created as a solution to meet the needs of thousands of students and educators worldwide.
2022
We reached over 150,000 students, providing them with the tools and insights needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world. In 2022 we launched the Future Jobs Kit, an innovative free resource designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge required for the jobs of tomorrow.
2023
We took a giant leap forward by forming a strategic partnership with APEX2100, to introduce Perform Better, the best performance programme to students worldwide. This collaboration allowed us to integrate cutting-edge performance strategies into our curriculum, ensuring that our students have the resilience and skills needed to perform at their best in any situation.
2024
8billionideas had become a cornerstone in education, reaching 350 schools and impacting over half a million students globally. Our commitment to comprehensive education was reflected in our creation of nearly 400 pieces of in-house content, covering all five pillars of critical learning.
At 8billionideas, we believe that education should go beyond traditional academic subjects to equip students with the essential soft and digital skills they need for success in the economies of the future. So we’re making it easy to offer this to students.
The Critical Curriculum is designed to be flexible and tailored to the unique needs of each school and its students. By incorporating technology and real-world scenarios, we aim to cultivate their skills, such as creativity, adaptability, and problem-solving abilities, enabling them to become confident and capable contributors in an ever-changing global landscape.
We’ve been recognised by organisations both inside and outside of the education sector for our forward-thinking approach and creation of unique learning experiences.
Our real-world stimulated programmes are a safe space for students to engage with their peers, our Learning Facilitators, and indeed the learning content. Safeguarding is just as important to us as it is to you, and is the foundation of our business.
We create all of our content in-house. In doing so, we have positive control over what your child consumes.
All child to child communication is done with a trained Facilitator or Mentor present.
Our entire team undergoes an enhanced DBS check, the same standard as teachers in the UK.
We record all Mentor and Facilitator interactions, giving you peace of mind.
KYGN is a Tanzanian organisation aiming to improve educational opportunities for young girls in the Kilimanjaro Region. Many children in the Mabogini area of Tanzania have limited access to an education. It took five years for Founder and Project Director of KYGN, Annamaria Kanondo, to raise enough funds to build a handful of classrooms and open the first official KYGN school in 2014. 8billionideas have been supporting the work of KYGN for several years, and we’re delighted to see the impact we’ve had on the lives of children in the Kilimanjaro region.
We’re so proud of the relationship we’ve built with the Lions Club International throughout the years and the impact 8billionideas has made on 25,000+ students who have participated in ROAR so far. Lions ROAR is a programme for primary schools to provide children in the UK with future-proof skills and imagination in line with the national curriculum and PSHE education.
Government-funded education for over 6million pupils in more than 20,000 primary schools remains limited in Kenya. African Promise is a small charity working to improve the quality of education in rural Kenyan primary schools. We have been supporting the work of African Promise for several years now. We have raised over £11,500 for the charity, with members of our team running a total of three impressive marathons so far.
