Summary

A group of Box employees, known as Boxers, participated in a service learning project in Costa Rica with Team4Tech, aiming to develop educational curriculums using makerspace kits for local organizations like Ideas en Accion and Fundacion Paniamor. The initiative involved significant preparation and fundraising, as well as hands-on work with technology and curriculum development, despite facing challenges such as language barriers and outdated software. Participants like Sumat Lam and Kate Koch discovered personal growth and motivation from enabling others to succeed and overcoming unfamiliar situations. The project not only facilitated the education of local facilitators but also left a lasting impact on the Boxers, who returned with a renewed perspective on their abilities and a commitment to leveraging their skills for community improvement. Chloe Langston, inspired by the project's success, is exploring ways to involve more Box employees in similar initiatives, emphasizing the potential for large-scale positive change.
