🌱 Projects in Preparation: Building the Next Chapter of Impact

At Growth Link, innovation never stands still. Alongside our ongoing initiatives in financial literacy and education equity, our teams are preparing to launch two new projects that reflect our commitment to creating sustainable, hands-on change: the RoboLink Initiative and the Clothing Donation Drive.

Both projects are currently in the Preparation Stage — being carefully designed, structured, and coordinated by our student teams to ensure meaningful impact upon launch.

🤖 RoboLink Initiative

Led by the Social Innovation Team, with support from the Strategic Impact and EduBridge Teams

The RoboLink Initiative seeks to make STEM education accessible to students in under-resourced communities by developing and distributing low-cost robotic arm kits and STEM learning modules.
These kits teach the fundamentals of robotics, programming, and engineering through hands-on learning, empowering students to explore technology regardless of socioeconomic background.

By integrating 3D printing, Arduino programming, and open-source design, RoboLink aims to spark curiosity in science and innovation while bridging global learning gaps. The first pilot phase is planned for partner schools in Vietnam and the Philippines, with a long-term goal of expanding to other regions through chapter collaboration.

“Our vision is to create affordable, open-access tools that give every student the chance to experience the joy of building and problem-solving,” said a member of the Social Innovation Team.

Timeline:

• Fall–Winter 2025: Plans and 3D designs are in progress — coordinated by the Strategic Impact Team.
• Winter 2025–Spring 2026: Curriculum development and online instructional modules to be prepared by the EduBridge Team for delivery over Zoom.
• Early Spring 2026: Final product and kit release by the Social Innovation Team.

👕 Clothing Donation Drive

Organized by the Chapter Management Team, with collaboration from the Design and Strategic Impact Teams

The Clothing Donation Drive reflects Growth Link’s growing focus on community-driven action and environmental sustainability.
Through this initiative, members across multiple chapters will collect gently used clothing, organize donation drives, and coordinate shipments to underprivileged communities in Southeast Asia.

Beyond providing material support, this project serves as a platform for students to understand circular responsibility: how small, collective actions can reduce waste, promote sustainability, and uplift lives.
Funds generated through accompanying awareness campaigns and branded t-shirt sales will help support educational outreach and logistical costs for Growth Link’s ongoing projects.

“The goal is not just to donate, but to connect communities through empathy, awareness, and shared responsibility,” noted a representative from the Chapter Management Team.

Timeline:

• Early November 2025: Clothing collection across Growth Link chapters.
• Mid-November 2025: Group t-shirts designed and produced by the Design Team.
• End of November 2025: Shipment and distribution coordinated by the Strategic Impact Team.

🔗 Looking Ahead

These upcoming initiatives embody Growth Link’s core belief that small, purposeful actions can lead to global change.
As both projects move through their planning phases, Growth Link’s teams continue to collaborate across regions, combining creativity and technical skill to turn ideas into impact.

Stay tuned as we prepare to launch the next wave of Growth Link programs, where students lead, communities grow, and every effort counts toward a more equitable and connected world.
