Welcome to Xcelerate NC!
Xcelerate NC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in North Carolina, USA. Our mission is to accelerate the growth of young minds and help them excel.
Xcelerate NC was formed in spring of 2020 by the brother-sister duo of Anirudh and Aditi Sengupta. We offer engaging online classes in Math, Public Speaking, and Computer Programming. |
Why Public Speaking?
Public Speaking builds up confidence, improves communication skills, and helps in overall personal development. While we are taught various subjects in school, there are no courses in Public Speaking. Our belief is that if we can learn some of the techniques at an early age, it will help us throughout our lives.
