Hey! I’m Amogha Yogesh and I am a 10th grader attending Amador Valley High School. I’m a passionate individual with a deep love for science and a strong commitment to helping children learn. My enthusiasm for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) drives me to inspire young minds, making complex concepts accessible and exciting. I was also an active member of the Biotech Club at my school, and was able to learn about so many interesting topics and I would love to share them with kids. I have also participated in STEM related events such as The Tech Challenge, an event held each year for kids that encourages them to build creative inventions that meet certain tasks. In addition, I love learning about biology and many other topics of science. We can’t wait to meet you all!

Hi, I'm Suhas Krishnamurthy, a 10th grader at Amador Valley High School. I'm passionate about engineering and have a deep and ongoing connection with robotics. I am the team captain of team 3303M in Vex Robotics. My team qualified for the national championship last year and is currently a top 1000 team in the world. I always loved working hands-on with engineering, whether I was a kid or now nothing has changed. My enthusiasm and passion for robotics drives me to help future generations learn these activities. I also was part of a STEM program in the San Jose Library where I helped kids learn the basics of STEM. With these past experiences I am very happy to help future generations learn these common fields. I hope to see many new faces and hopefully make a lasting impact on all these young powerful minds.
