Mission Statement
Chipster is a U.S. based 501c3 non-profit with a mission to foster success for billions of people who lack Internet access through the offline provision of high quality educational resources on various portable devices.
Description
Help us provide high-quality educational resources to the billions of people who lack Internet access!
Chipster develops and distributes custom libraries in various subjects for offline use in laptops, computers, and smartphones. Looks and acts just like the Web!
We provide resources, coaching, training, and educational materials to schools, clinics, prisons, libraries and individuals in under served communities all over the world and the U.S.
With an off-line search engine, database capabilities, and extensive libraries of documents, Chipster personal libraries make a wealth of Web pages, images and videos, and interactive courses available off-line. The vision is giving people the option to "go to a library to check out a library."
Users can copy these offline libraries at will, making it possible for education and information to reach vast, unserved audiences.
