OUR TEAM

In my sophomore year at Dougherty Valley High School, I am passionate about the intersection of technology and business. In the past few years, my Python data projects on Raspberry Pi have won awards at the Contra Costa County Science and Engineering Fair. In order to bridge the US’s educational equity gap, I leveraged these skills and accomplishments. This blog-based website aims to raise awareness and encourage young kids to gain technology skills via Raspberry Pi in underprivileged areas. My program, Pi Kids, spreads technology initiatives to the next generation. Moreover, I’m a believer. LF member, I believe collaboration makes a difference!
