Muhammad Gawish co-founded and leads iSchool, an education technology startup that delivers online courses designed to prepare children aged 6 to 18 for future technology careers.

Since its launch in 2018, iSchool has focused on personalized digital learning. The platform uses live one-on-one classes to adapt instruction to each student’s pace, while providing parents with real-time tracking of their children’s progress.

The company covers a wide range of disciplines, including programming, video game development, mobile application development, web design, data science and artificial intelligence. To increase engagement, the platform integrates interactive environments such as Minecraft, turning coding concepts into game-based learning experiences.

iSchool structures its curriculum by age group and academic level. Younger students learn basic logic and introductory digital skills, while older students work on advanced projects such as application development, 3D games and digital interfaces.

Gawish also brings a multidisciplinary background to the venture. He holds a degree in electrical and telecommunications engineering from Cairo University, earned in 2018, and he continues to work as a freelance consultant in educational technologies.

He also serves as coordinator for international sumo robotics activities at Fujisoft, further strengthening his exposure to applied robotics education and innovation ecosystems.

Earlier in his career, Gawish worked in research and development at AmpereRobotics in 2015. He later completed a business development internship at The Coca-Cola Company in 2017 in the United States.

In 2019, he joined xTool Education (formerly Makeblock) as a STEAM education consultant, focusing on science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics learning programs.

In 2015, Gawish placed second in the NOOR IoT competition at Cairo ICT, marking an early recognition of his work in emerging technologies.
