Stick 'Em

The Journey

Kai founded Stick 'Em with a simple but powerful mission: to address the educational gap affecting nearly one billion children globally who lack access to quality STEAM education. Rather than creating complex tech solutions, Kai took an ingenious approach—building educational kits around one of the most accessible tools in Asia: chopsticks.

The Work

Stick 'Em transforms everyday chopsticks into versatile building materials that teach fundamental engineering, design thinking, and problem-solving skills. The kits are affordable, culturally relevant, and don't require expensive technology or infrastructure—making STEAM education accessible to communities that need it most.

The Philosophy

Kai believes that innovation doesn't always mean high-tech. Sometimes the most powerful solutions come from reimagining familiar objects and making education accessible through what's already available in people's homes and communities.
