Joe: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Did you know that kids from lower-income families are far less likely to be active and twice as likely to be obese?
Izzat: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Three out of four high schoolers say they are bored or lost in school. Part of the reason for these shocking statistics is that school counselors, whose job it is to guide students towards their future careers after graduation, are responsible for over 400 students at a time! That's more than twice the Dunbar number of 150, or how many people scientists say we can get to know at any one time. This is where Edifii comes in—we offer a personalized, digital school counselor that empowers high school students, counselors, and school leaders. We thus help students discover their potential and provide granular action plans for them to reach big goals in the future.
Jimena: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! We work with the smallest islands in the world on their climate policy. These islands are the most vulnerable to climate change, and often their voice is not heard in climate negotiations. We support leaders from islands to help them voice the needed actions to remain below 1.5 Celsius, and have a sustainable planet.
