At the IEEE PCJS Summer Picnic & Food Drive, Rukie Cookie Inc served up our signature Miso-Glazed Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies to support more than just sweet tooths. With every bite, we helped fund free chess classes for youth and contributed to a successful community food drive. It was a day of sunshine, service, and strategic thinking—where cookies connected purpose with play.

This summer, I interned at a remarkable camp hosted by the AIMC at the Santa Fe Indian School—where Indigenous youth explored math through collaborative problem-solving, celebrated culture through basket weaving and museum visits, and dove into STEM with Indigenous researchers. From lively math debates to earning HAM radio licenses, and even launching a new virtual chess initiative, this experience was a powerful reminder of what happens when curiosity, culture, and community come together.

Rukie Cookie Inc was honored to sweeten the celebration of the IEEE Milestone for the Fast Fourier Transform at Princeton University with our signature Miso-Glazed Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies. With the Dean of Engineering and the IEEE President in attendance, the event marked not only a breakthrough in computing history—but also our mission to fund free chess classes for youth. Because behind every great algorithm is the power of strategic thinking.

At Rukie Cookie Inc, we're baking up more than cookies—we're baking opportunity. Our first fundraiser features delicious Miso-Glazed Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies at the IEEE PCJS Awards Banquet, with all proceeds funding free chess classes for youth. Why chess? Because it's a powerful tool for building strategic thinking, confidence, and leadership. One cookie. One class. One future move at a time.
