MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN EDUCATION
One Birdie at a time.
CONGRATULATIONS TO MAVERICK FOR HIS WIN AT THE RSM CLASSIC ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2024!
Maverick is a former San Jose Junior Sharks hockey player who attended the Harker School in San Jose, California. The oldest of four brothers—Maverick, Dakota, Colt, and Scout—he now calls Las Vegas home during the weeks he isn’t competing on the road.
In 2013, Maverick chose “smashing drives” over being smashed into the boards and joined the Stanford Men’s Golf team as an unranked recruit. The decision paid off as he tied the program record with 11 collegiate victories, earned a B.S. in Management Science and Engineering, became a three-time First-Team All-American, and spent 47 weeks as the world’s #1 ranked amateur…
Maverick’s Next Goal is Another $1M
- Built an interactive video player so students can engage with videos instead of passively watching them.
- Helped build easier-to-use authoring tools for teachers with ready-made layouts and templates.
- Launched several partners such as Katy ISD, Baylor University, and First Tee!
The Impact of Your Generous Contributions
It is exciting to be playing in my 8th season on the PGA Tour.
My goal this season is 400 birdies! I made 386 during the Birdies 7 season.
So far in Birdies Season 8, I’ve made 294 birdies.
Making a difference in education is something the Curriki team and I are very passionate about, and we wouldn’t be able to make this impact without all of your generous contributions of all sizes.

The State of Education
Making a difference in education is something the Curriki team and I are very passionate about, and we wouldn’t be able to make this impact without all of your generous contributions of all sizes. I couldn’t be more excited to get going in 2026!
This year, Curriki has pivoted to lead the frontier of “Thoughtful AI” in the classroom by launching the Curriki AI ecosystem and the Curriki Grants initiative. We are now focused on vetting and highlighting the most promising AI tools—such as Brisk, Diffit, and Synthesis—that support teaching and learning through writing support, adaptive tutoring, and formative assessment. By providing direct funding to help schools implement these impactful EdTech tools, we are ensuring that the future of education remains rooted in equity, privacy, and meaningful student impact.
