No selfies or food photos to be found on these awesome accounts.

Instagram is undeniably a fun and quirky social network that allows you to share your life with friends through pictures (and more recently, video). But your friends and family aren’t the only ones worth following on Instagram—believe it or not, a lot of brands out there have ‘gram game so strong, your thumb gets tired from all of the double taps! Here are some of our favorite tech-focused Instagram accounts (and why you should follow them):

1. Microsoft

Because she was born in extreme poverty, Ana Dodson sees herself in the girls she helps, many of whom live in homes without electricity or clean water. Her foundation, @peruvianhearts, helps these girls transform their lives, break the cycle of poverty, and build a brighter future. When she’s not able to travel to Peru, she uses @Skype to hold leadership training courses. #DoMore

Microsoft’s #DoMore campaign highlighting their customers’ lives isn’t just a cool way to give a little back to their loyal customers—it’s also a great way to show people how their products can work for anyone.

Facebook has taken the ‘quirky’ style Instagram is known for as a way to “connect the world” through technology. Many of their Instagram photos simply compel their followers to tag their friends and engage with one another online, something we love about social, too.

4. Instagram!

“I put so many hours into creating these works,” says Meghan Maconochie (@meghanmaconochie), a South African schoolteacher who creates textured images drawn from pop culture references, which she constructs from the shavings of colored pencils. “I like to create pieces that people can relate to and recognize.” Meghan’s process begins by hand-drawing an image onto paper or a card, which gives her a base to work on. Next, she applies a thin layer of shavings on the outer edges. “I then layer it up so it has more of a sculptural look to it,” she explains. Meghan sharpens each pencil by hand to achieve the particular coarseness she prefers, sometimes going through an entire box of pencils to create an image. Despite the time she invests in her artwork, the physical renderings are ephemeral. “I am experimenting with different fixatives to see if I can preserve the image,” she says. “Sadly, at the moment, I throw them away after photographing them.” Photo by @meghanmaconochie A photo posted by Instagram (@instagram) on Apr 1, 2015 at 6:45am PDT
