About Us
We believe that anyone can be a creator.
Our Story
From the start, our vision has been to empower everyone, everywhere, with the tools to thrive. Endless began as inventors, unlocking laptop access in emerging markets with our own operating system Endless OS [Link]. That foundation shaped everything that followed.
We soon realized that only providing access to technology wasn’t enough to realize our vision. Once people had the tools, they also needed the skills to use them. We challenged ourselves to create solutions that scaffold every step of the journey: from tools, to learning, to creation.
The Endless ecosystem continued to grow, and in 2020, the Endless OS Foundation was launched as a nonprofit dedicated to empowering the next generation of digital creators with everything they need to build a future-ready career: game-making skills, creative tools, and of course, digital access.
In 2025, more than a decade after Endless’ founding, we have evolved to become Endless Access, a delivery-focused nonprofit that works directly with learners, educators, and partners to:
- Equip underserved creators with the tools and mentorship to make their own games
- Build community-led, open-source game projects
- Expand device ownership through our Laptop Program
Though our tools and approaches have evolved to serve our global community’s needs, our values and our passion remain the same.
A Note About Endless
Endless is our master brand: a movement of organizations working together to close the digital divide through learning, funding, and community. Endless Access is one part of this ecosystem, with a unique role in program delivery and community-building.
Our Vision
The whole world empowered.
Our Mission
As a nonprofit, we empower the next generation of digital creators through our global game-making community and innovative tools that spark creativity, foster collaboration, and build future-ready skills.
Our Values
These principles guide how we build everything at Endless Access — our programs, our tools, and our community.
Everyone belongs.
Access and creativity are for everyone. Whether it is a first laptop or a first StoryQuest, every learner and every community has a place.
Play matters
Play lowers barriers and sparks curiosity. From experimenting with code in Threadbare to exploring new tools on a first device, play is how confidence begins.
Create for impact
We encourage learners and communities to build with purpose, connecting projects and programs to real-world challenges and opportunities.
Share often. Be open
Our work is rooted in open source and open licenses. We share our software, our curricula, and our practices so others can remix, redistribute, and grow them.
Reflect and refine
Every game, every program, and every device rollout is iterative. Feedback helps us improve, and trying again builds stronger tools, stronger programs, and stronger learners.
Learning is not linear
Growth takes many paths. Some learners start with Explore, others dive straight into Core or More, and for many, the first step is simply having access to a computer at home.
Affordable Laptop Program
Access is more than laptops — it is about tools, support, and real opportunity. Our Laptop Program helps close the digital divide by making computer ownership possible at scale, at a time when billions still lack a computer at home. Our team is committed to opening doors for first-time computer owners, ensuring they have not just devices, but the chance to learn, create, and thrive.
Games and Learning Programs
We design programs that teach future-ready skills through game-making. Open, playful, and collaborative, they reach learners around the world.

Open at Our Core
Endless was born in open source. Our first operating system, Endless OS, was built on Linux and GNOME so learners everywhere could have access to knowledge and tools — even without the internet.
Why open source? Because if knowledge is locked, it is not truly accessible. Scale is only possible when ideas, code, and content can be reused, remixed, and redistributed freely.
Our Team
We are a global collective of educators, game makers, engineers, designers, and open-source advocates.
Careers
We are always looking for curious builders, educators, designers, and storytellers who believe in the power of play to unlock creativity.
Joining Endless Access means being part of a global team that helps young people go from players to creators. If you want your skills to make a real impact, explore our open roles.
