Founder Fabrice Aziz is a graduate of Purdue University in Aeronautical Science and a Veteran of the US Navy. As a lifelong learner and provider, Fabrice sees how a firm understanding of Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (S.T.E.M) has been able to provide for his wife and children. Along with being able to provide, it has given Fabrice an opportunity to see the world and experience major events like the 2016 world Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. It was on this trip to the 2016 world Olympics that inspired Fabrice to create two of his three business: AtomicFunShak, inc. and 501 3C EagertoRise inc.
Fabrice witnessed the love Brazilian children had for futbol (what we call soccer) and how the energy they displayed playing, discussing and emulating the game was a vital part of their life.
Fabrice had a random thought after his trip from the Olympics in Brazil. Noticing the love that the kids of Brazil has for soccer as well as the love of the international community has for soccer gave him a unique perspective. The thinking was that not all of these children are athletic or physically gifted enough to play soccer beyond the club level, but they are all able to learn and have a crazy love for the sport. So why not incorporate that love for soccer with fundamental learning to a professional level using STEM.
His idea…..Have the children from all races and ethnicities use their passion for soccer and intellectual capacity and whimsical creativity to develop a 3D lifelike soccer game that could be played all over the world! But the caveat is to teach the children how to do everything from design to production under the guidance of Software Developers and Manufacturing Engineers…Thus EagertoRise was birthed. A great program open to economically disadvantaged youth (Multi -Cultural) . Our aim is to give a helping hand to the gifted and naturally talented inner city youth. Once the game goes into full production partial proceeds from the sale of the game will be used to provide scholarships for the underserved Central Indiana children to one of the many Historically Black Colleges and Universities or a great university or college in the state of Indiana. Every child that participates in the genesis stages of the program will have an opportunity to earn a scholarship to a HBCU or a college or university in the state of Indiana.
