Code Lab is a Tech Ed program established under the umbrella of The Rusty and River Fields Foundation. Our goal is to teach 1,000 students in Bed-Stuy Coding and Robotics through Hackathons, in-school coding programs, weekend tech events, workshops, webinars, and more.

LOOP Juice, based in Canada, saves produce discarded between the farm and the supermarket and at the distribution stage. Each bottle of juice is packed with over 1.5 kg of perfectly imperfect fruits and vegetables. In addition to making nutrient-rich juices readily available, LOOP Juice also makes use of the residual pulp by providing a partner company with the very nutritious high-fiber pulp byproduct which is then turned into dog treats and beer. LOOP Juice is an innovative and exciting company to watch in the growing circular economy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PANELISTS Akash Ghai, Founder, Development 3 Akash founded Development3 (D3), an international consulting firm focused on providing social responsibility and change management solutions to organizations.
