Fueled by his outrage due to the lack of access in our communities and his belief in the untapped potential of the children his organization seeks out, Najee-ullah launched his business, Pelican Fly, in 2010 to build on a concept that took hold of him several years before. Pelican Fl is a service provider for youth programs. They impact the community by bringing advanced technology directly to the youth with their mobile unit,The Purge Projec. Najee-ullah has found this and other creative ways to share Science Technolog,Engineering Art and Math via Robotic, Drones,3D Printin and game design.
“Our mission is to bridge the tech divide. Our kids don’t have access to technology and experiences that other socio economic groups do.”
Playing to the interest of each of his youth, he has been on an endless mission to get advanced technology into the hands of inner city youth by working with and beside after school programing. Pelican Fly is actively supporting six after school organizations throughout our communities including Sisters Saving the City and Greenmount West Community Center, that sits right across the street from us here at Open Works.

We’re ecstatic to have Muhammad’s passion and community focus here at Open Works. We look forward to seeing his concepts grow stronger in and around our communities.
