About

About the Brillo Project.

We started in New York and went to Brazil — to rebuild a community space, paint a mural, and teach AI to kids who had never touched a laptop. Now we're bringing the same idea home, to the Bronx.

The Brillo Project is a small charity built by three high schoolers — Zachary Greez, Lucca Schmidt, and Samo Darwish. We work at the intersection of art, technology, and community.

In Vidigal, Rio de Janeiro, we partnered with AfroReggae and Studio Tris to rebuild a neighborhood studio, paint a mural connecting Brazil and the United States, and run a workshop introducing kids to the fundamentals of AI — coding, game development, and the language of modern tools.

In the Bronx, we're working with a charter school to fund art programs, AI courses, and computers for students. We're building a mural and raising the budget needed to put the hardware in their hands.
