Two years ago, Pebble Education started as a single club at one school. Since then, we’ve grown into a national network—10 chapters, over 25 projects built, and 750 students reached across the country.

The numbers tell one part of the story. The rest comes from the students.

In Michigan, a Pebble Education club hosted a student-led data workshop that pulled in kids from three nearby schools. In North Carolina, one chapter partnered with a local nonprofit to prototype a logistics app. And in Arizona, students used Pebble Education’s YouTube courses to run their own tutoring series. These stories show what happens when students lead—and when they’re trusted to do real, meaningful work.

This year alone, we ran two hackathons, launched three full-length courses, and supported teachers through a growing library of classroom-ready tools. We’re seeing more momentum—and more independence—at the chapter level than ever before.

Looking ahead, we’re aiming for 50 chapters by next summer. We’ll keep building courses, but we’re also working on something new: a full platform for peer teaching. It’ll let students run their own clubs, design projects together, and publish their work—without waiting on anyone to tell them it’s okay to start.

We’re also putting more weight behind mentorship. Every chapter that joins gets support from another student who’s already led one. It’s simple, but it makes a difference—and it keeps things grounded in experience.

Pebble was never about big lectures or polished pitch decks. It’s always been about small starts that scale. If you want to be part of the next chapter, there’s a place for you.
