Daniel Schendel, a senior at Henry M. Gunn High School in Palo Alto, CA, founded Electronics For Education in February of 2020 to help equip students to be able to study from home with their own computers. Daniel is an avid volunteer for the World Education Fund, a nonprofit organization which helps impoverished students in Africa to go to school. While Daniel is involved with international students, he also realized that many students in his own community did not have access to technology at home, limiting their ability to do anything from drafting essays to watching Khan Academy videos. Knowing the importance of education, he founded Electronics for Education to enable students to be able to study remotely, but also to eventually be able to achieve financial independence. In his free time, Daniel enjoys debate, reading, backpacking, and video games.
