We're two weeks from welcoming our first 20 GEAR Lab students in Haiti

This past month was all about getting ready to launch in June. We confirmed the dates for all our summer GEAR Lab robotics sessions and advertised them to the 300 young people who took part in our earlier DRILL programme. Applications for the first cohort are open, and we'll send decisions next week.

We also bought and shipped the equipment kits for every session this summer, and brought new mentors onto the team. Five of them are former GEAR Lab participants from last year, and they'll earn a stipend for mentoring this time round. Onboarding and mentor training are scheduled for this week.

We spent $785.54 (about £620) on kits and $60 (about £47) on marketing this month.

We welcome our first cohort of 20 students on 15 June.
