We need people more than
we need money.

Native speakers and teachers

Every block, lesson and voice line is written and reviewed by native speakers working with teachers. Machine translation is not good enough for a child learning to reason in their own language — a wrong word for "loop" teaches the wrong idea.

Time

A few hours a month, in batches. No coding needed.

Requirements

• Fluent native speaker (written and spoken) of an African partner language
• Comfortable explaining everyday concepts clearly to learners aged 7–18
• Able to review 1–2 short terminology batches per month online

You get

• Credited on your profile and in the language pack
• A say in how your contributions are used
• Early access to the packs you help build

Students, teachers, hub leaders

Run a club at your school or in your city. You bring the room and the people; we send a starter pack, a club page and a monthly build-night format so you are not inventing a programme from scratch.

Time

One build night a month to start.

Requirements

• A safe meeting space (classroom, university lab, library, or community hub)
• At least 5 learners or builders to form the founding group
• 1–2 laptops or desktops (works 100% offline once installed)

You get

• Chapter starter pack and kit credit
• Ambassador training and recognition
• A club page other Savericans can find

Engineers and university students

Review projects, answer questions in the forums, and coach Arena teams through a competition. You do not need to be a robotics specialist — most questions are about debugging, not kinematics.

Time

Two to four hours a month.

Requirements

• Working experience in Python, C/C++, electronics, or STEM teaching
• Patience to guide learners through debugging without writing code for them
• Agreement to Saverick’s youth safeguarding and mentor code of conduct

You get

• Listed in the mentor network
• Direct line to the engineering team
• First look at the SDK and Core APIs

Makers, teachers, developers

Publish custom blocks, lessons or Sim worlds through the SDK. A good lesson written once gets used by every class that follows, which is a better use of an afternoon than almost anything else.

Time

One project, whenever you have one.

Requirements

• Basic familiarity with block programming, MicroPython, Embedded C++, or 3D assets
• Clear wiring diagram or simulator test case so classrooms can reproduce it
• Willingness to license shared lessons for open classroom use

You get

• Credited on every remix of your work
• Featured in the monthly build round-up
• Early SDK access

Schools and youth hubs

Run Saverick with a real class and tell us what breaks. Pilot partners shape the product through the teacher council and see features before anyone else — including the ones that turn out to be wrong.

Time

A term, with our support.

Requirements

• A school, TVET college, or youth hub with a designated lead educator
• A class or club cohort of 10+ learners meeting weekly for one school term
• Short fortnightly feedback check-in with the Saverick product team

You get

• Teacher training included
• A seat on the teacher council
• Kits and Classroom licences for the pilot
