Nurturing Curiosity Through Learning Since 2023
Pebble Education is a non-profit organization committed to fostering a culture of lifelong learning rooted in curiosity, creativity, and community. Since 2023, we’ve been creating inclusive spaces, both online and in person, where learners of all ages can explore ideas freely, ask big questions, and grow through shared discovery. Whether it’s through workshops, reading circles, or open-ended discussions, we believe in learning not for tests or titles, but for the joy of it.
“This is a place for people who love to learn, just because.”
— Arnav Bonigala, Founder & President
About
Pebble Education is a non-profit dedicated to nurturing curiosity, lifelong learning, and community connection. We believe in learning not for achievement, but for growth, exploration, and joy. Our work creates space for open-ended questions, shared discovery, and the simple wonder of understanding something new.
Impact
At Pebble Education, impact means empowering students to build what they believe in. From 25+ student-led projects to national hackathons and a growing network of chapters across the U.S., we create real opportunities for hands-on learning, collaboration, and innovation. Backed by leading partners and over $100K in support, our work helps reimagine education—one idea at a time.
