About Cherpa
Cherpa is an education technology startup that teaches children and teenagers robotics, coding, and STEM skills through online, project-based learning. Its origin story is quintessentially Lebanese: the idea took shape among students at the Lebanese American University before the founders pursued it as a startup and connected with the Silicon Valley ecosystem.
The platform pairs young learners with tutors and structured curricula that make technical subjects engaging and hands-on. By delivering robotics and coding education online, Cherpa removes geographic barriers and gives students access to future-focused skills regardless of where they live.
Why Cherpa Matters
Cherpa embodies the potential of Lebanon’s universities to produce globally minded tech founders. By teaching robotics and coding to the next generation, it invests directly in future talent, and its journey from a Lebanese campus toward international ambitions is an inspiring model for student entrepreneurs.
