The program will provide up to $20,000 in educational grants to disadvantaged students from military families, particularly targeting those affected by the deaths or disabilities of parents in service. The core of the program is an annual competition themed ‘What went wrong, and how would you fix it?’ focusing on practical blockchain and AI problems.
Giggle Academy, founded in 2024 by tech entrepreneur and Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ), offers a free, gamified, AI-driven educational platform focusing on real-world applicable work skills, such as emotional intelligence, finance, negotiation, and technology literacy, breaking down barriers of formal education or expensive tuition costs.

CZ recounts the original intention of founding, focusing on the educational needs of military families' children
Zhao Changpeng stated: "I chose to start this scholarship program with the children of U.S. military families because these young people know what service is. They have witnessed the cost of service up close. They carry courage, discipline, and often sorrow; but also a culture of selfless leadership. If we are to reimagine education for the disadvantaged from scratch, let's start with those children whose parents gave everything but are still overlooked."
According to the announcement, there are over 2 million children of veterans in the U.S. after the 9/11 events, and there are 750 million illiterate adults worldwide. This initiative aims to address the long-standing educational gap. The American Veterans Association, with over a century of experience in supporting veteran families, brings heritage and trust to this mission.
The American Veterans Association stated: "Military families sacrifice and serve but are often overlooked, especially after they take off their uniforms. We thank Giggle Academy for standing with us to say to those who gave their lives for our freedom and their children, 'You will not be forgotten.'"
Innovative education model combined with traditional service spirit, creating a future talent cultivation plan
This scholarship program connects military children with next-generation learning tools and adaptive curricula, designed specifically for students facing life's toughest challenges. The program provides practical blockchain and AI education, allowing children from military families to access cutting-edge technological knowledge while cultivating the ability to solve real-world problems.
The American Veterans Association added: "Our partnership with Giggle Academy allows us to bring this commitment into the future; combining the long-standing spirit of service with cutting-edge educational opportunities. We are not only commemorating sacrifices but also building opportunities, one child at a time."
This innovative educational initiative not only embodies care for military families but also showcases the potential applications of blockchain and AI technology in the education industry. By combining traditional service spirit with modern technological education, the program aims to provide better future development opportunities for these young people with special backgrounds, while nurturing them to become the next generation of tech talents.
