Kevin Gong
Science Fair Mentor - ISEF Grand Award Winner
Kevin remembers the nerves of his own first science fair - which is why his students walk into judging feeling ready, not rehearsed. He's been exactly where they are, just a few steps ahead: ~70% of the students he's coached have gone on to competitive science-fair success. (ISEF Grand Award Winner, researcher at Johns Hopkins.)

Samiul
Tech Mentor - iOS / SwiftUI & Full-Stack (Carnegie Mellon)
Samiul remembers the thrill of his first app actually running on a real phone - and that's the moment he chases with every student. He guides kids from 'I have an idea' all the way to a real app on the App Store, teaching them how professional engineers actually work along the way. (Carnegie Mellon; production engineering at fintech startups.)

Paola Romero
Engineering Project Mentor (MIT)
Paola runs a makerspace at MIT, which means her favorite sentence is 'let's just try it.' She teaches students to 3D print, laser cut, and prototype their way to confidence, because nothing convinces a kid they're an engineer like holding something they built. (MIT Mechanical Engineering; medical-device intern at Lexington Medical.)
