About Us

I did everything I was told you’re “supposed” to do.

I spent hours building robots, competing, and obsessing over every detail. Eventually, my team and I ranked #1 globally in FRC robotics. I delved into research, with the evaluation of Artificial Intelligence. We were published in Nature Partner Journals. On paper, it looked like I had checked every box.

Those experiences taught me a lot: I learned amazing theory and skills. But something still felt missing.

The skills I was learned didn’t seem to be applicable to real life. They weren’t being applied to problems I saw every day around me. I wanted to use my skills to make a real impact, and learn  more about how to work in the real world.

After attending Stanford AI4ALL, that feeling became impossible to ignore.

In the program, I saw just how powerful AI could be, but in my community many peers remarked how they felt completely lost, confused, or even scared by it. AI was shaping their future, but they didn’t feel like they had any control over it.

I realized there was a gap:

We were teaching students to achieve, but not always to use their skills to solve the problems they saw around them, or the skills which are applicable in real life.

So I started small.

I launched the Gen AI 4 Students initiative, where mentors and I taught other students AI on projects that mirrored real life: making computer vision models to differentiate between healthy vs sick trees to determine the health of an ecosystem, among projects. Watching students light up when their projects actually helped someone was the moment it clicked for me.

We took validated pre and post surveys to measure impact. The results were astounding: a 76.4% increase in knowledge and a 27.8% improvement in positive attitudes. This couldn’t just be a one-time program. It needed to become a movement.

To expand the idea that students should use their skills to tackle the gaps they see in the world, I began building something new:

A student-led community where real-world impact is the goal, not just grades or trophies. Teens learn by doing, through projects that matter. And mentors from Fortune 500 companies and Ivy League universities help bring those ideas to life.

That’s how Impact Future was born.

Impact Future is a space where students don’t just prepare for the future, they help shape it. We’re building a community of young creators who use AI, engineering, and innovation to solve real problems in their schools, neighborhoods, and beyond.

It’s about seeing something that’s broken, believing you can help fix it, and having a team and community that supports you while you try

That’s our story.

And we’re just getting started.
