Why?

Mark Pinder, CEO of Fig3D, knows what it feels like to not quite fit in. Growing up with humble beginnings and often feeling socially awkward—ironically, despite building a successful career in sales—Mark always knew he saw the world a little differently.

He learned early on that hard work and dedication are powerful building blocks for success. But it wasn’t until the first pilot of the Fearless Imagineers program that something truly clicked: he saw just how much untapped potential and talent existed in young people—especially those who, like him, might not always follow the traditional path.

That experience sparked something bigger.

Mark created the Fearless Imagineers Scholarship to go beyond the workshops and offer real, ongoing support to the students who showed passion, curiosity, and a fearless imagination. His mission is simple: make sure every child with big ideas has the chance to succeed, no matter their background.

This scholarship is his way of paying it forward—because the next generation of inventors, entrepreneurs, and engineers shouldn’t be limited by circumstance.
