Explore, Think, Create

Bechir has 10+ years experience in research and tech innovation. He started university aged 16 and completed three Masters degrees in Engineering, Physics and Robotics.  Passionate about using technology to improve people's lives, he has worked as a Neuroscience researcher at Harvard and UCL and as a Data Scientist on a range of Tech for Good projects, including the design of brain implants for restoring sight to the blind and creating AI algorithms that help diagnose rare diseases.

Prior to founding Edventurer, Bechir worked in partnership with the UK Government’s innovation agency to design and deliver entrepreneurial coaching programmes for academics. He also helped dozens of entrepreneurs in the creation of new businesses at a London Venture Capital firm. 

The Root of the Vision

Edventurer aims to democratise access to real-world innovation and entrepreneurial training for young people to accelerate their impact in the world. Edventurer is the life skills education programme Bechir wished existed when he started his first business whilst still in secondary school - assembling and selling computers online, without any mentors. He is deeply convinced that children and young people, with the right support and opportunities, are capable of achieving much more than that which the mainstream educational system prepares them for.
