Our flagship
Qorshe Learn leads the portfolio and our current focus on education. The work furthest along follows below it — each project page separates what exists today from what is planned.
What connects the work
A plan made practical. A purpose behind it.“Qorshe” is the Somali word for a plan. Every product here turns that idea into tools and resources people can use in their learning, their families, and their everyday lives — in the languages they actually speak.
Qorshe Learn is the flagship and the current build priority, supported by books and courses that grow out of real classroom work in Minneapolis.
The Qorshe planner explores how clearer goals and shared routines support everyday family life — opening with our own family as its first real users before any classroom or daycare pilot.
Private projects, including Silicon, remain distinct from our public products, and new ventures are labelled as exploration until they are real.
Beyond the flagship
A compact index of everything at Qorshe Labs — one line each, so nothing is repeated. The featured projects above have the full story on their own pages.
Evidence
No traction numbers to report yet — so here is the concrete work instead: what has been built, written, and verified, and when.
The Grades 5–8 MCA practice system is open as a live demonstration at learn.qorshelabs.com, so teachers and families can see how it works. It runs on demonstration data only — a classroom pilot comes before any use with real students.
The planner's complete design and an interactive eleven-view prototype were built and tested end to end with demonstration data. Real accounts and the family pilot come next.
The Somali–English driver's licence prep guide is finished at 254 pages, with a companion signs minibook. It awaits native-speaker review before print.
All eighteen chapters of the Somali Tajweed textbook are drafted, with original artwork; the book is now in its chapter-by-chapter final-draft phase.
Item banks and differentiated worksheets built on the Qorshe Learn design are in daily use in the founder's own Grades 6–7 classrooms, in print form.
qorshelabs.com was registered and this company site published, giving every product one address under one roof.
The company
Qorshe Labs is founded and built by Abdalrahman Hussein — a Minneapolis middle-school maths teacher whose engineering and business background shapes every product here.
Founder, Qorshe Labs
The products come from the classroom. Qorshe Labs' founder teaches middle-school maths in Minneapolis, under Minnesota standards, to students whose families speak Somali and Spanish at home. The diagnostic approach behind Qorshe Learn, the trilingual parent communication in the Qorshe planner, and the Somali-first books all began as answers to problems in that room.
An engineering degree and an MBA sit behind the teaching — the combination shows up in how the company works: systems designed carefully, statuses stated plainly, and each product finished properly before the next one starts. Qorshe Labs' company registration is in progress; the work below is already under way.

/ Updates
Short, dated notes on what has actually shipped or been verified — the same milestones summarised on the homepage, in order.
The MCA-prep system at learn.qorshelabs.com is open as a live demonstration: students practise Grades 5–8 maths from their real starting level, and teachers can see the gaps it finds. It runs on demonstration data only — no real student information. Availability: live demo; a classroom pilot in the founder's own classes is the next milestone. Sign-in, content, and deployment detail live on the Qorshe Learn project page.
The company domain was registered and the Qorshe Labs website published, with a reserved address for each product: app.qorshelabs.com for the planner, learn.qorshelabs.com for Qorshe Learn, and silicon.qorshelabs.com as a description-only page for the private Silicon system.
The planner's full design — five spaces (Personal, Family, Classroom, Daycare, Business), a shared goals engine, a three-level privacy model, and English–Somali–Spanish surfaces — was completed, and an interactive prototype of all eleven core views was click-tested end to end. The prototype holds demonstration data only; real accounts do not exist yet. Next milestone: the family pilot.
The Minnesota DMV prep guide (Somali–English) was completed at 254 pages and now awaits native-speaker review before print. The Somali Tajweed textbook completed drafting of all eighteen chapters and entered its final-draft phase. Hanti, the Somali-first money guide for young people and couples, is in production; its store is being prepared and nothing is on sale yet.
/ About
Qorshe Labs is a multi-product technology company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. “Qorshe” is the Somali word for a plan — and planning, done honestly and followed through, is what every product we build is about.
Qorshe Labs was founded by Abdalrahman Hussein, a middle-school mathematics teacher in Minneapolis with a background in electrical engineering and an MBA. The company's products grow directly out of that combined experience: teaching Grades 6–7 maths under Minnesota standards, running after-school daycare programs, and building financial discipline for a large household.
That is why the first products are an MCA practice platform, a classroom-and-family planner, and Somali-first books: they are the tools our founder needed and could not find.
Each product carries its own model, introduced only when the product is ready. No prices are published yet, because nothing is on sale yet.
Qorshe Learn — teacher plans and per-school licensing, priced for the districts and charter schools it is built to serve. Qorshe — family subscriptions, with school and daycare licensing for institutional spaces.
Books & Courses — direct sales of finished books, with courses to follow. This is expected to be the company's first revenue line, once the first book clears review and the store is ready.
Qorshe Labs is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The domain qorshelabs.com is registered and this site is its public home; the company's legal registration is in progress. Silicon is a private household system and is not offered as a product or as financial advice.
