Why we Exist

The Life Skills Class You Always Wish You Had.

Let’s be real. School taught us calculus, but not how to negotiate a salary. We learned about the War of 1812, but not how to manage our mental health in 2025.

We’re fixing that.

BrainBox started with a simple question from our founder, Olivia, at UBC: “Why are we so unprepared for actual life?” What began as a campus club—a rebellion against impractical education—quickly became a textbook, then a course, and now a tech platform built for Gen Z, by Gen Z.

We’re not another boring e-learning site. We’re the cool, smart friend who actually knows how to adult.

The Mission? Real Life Skills.

We’ve traded boring textbooks for dozens of 15-minute, on-demand modules that you can actually use. Think of it as life-hacking 101. We cover the stuff that matters:

  • Financial Literacy: (How to not be broke).

  • Emotional Intelligence: (How to not burn bridges).

  • Career Readiness: (How to get the job, and thrive in it)

  • And SO much more (grocery shopping, changing a tire, navigating the healthcare system - you name it, it’s here.)

The Vibe? Serious about impact, not jargon.

We’ve already partnered with forward-thinking schools and organizations to get our platform into the hands of students who need it. The feedback is clear: this isn’t just nice to have. It’s essential.

We’re here for the students, the future leaders, the overwhelmed, and the ambitious. We’re for every young person who knows that success isn’t just about what you know, but how you navigate the world.

School prepared you for the test. We prepare you for everything else.
