Creative Team
Vivek Pragada
I am a rising senior at Central Bucks High School South, PA. I founded AIforTeens in an attempt to propel the next generation of AI enthusiasts. I oversee all aspects of the organization. Primarily, I developed the curriculum and content in collaboration with the tech advisors, designed the workshops, and I teach all the workshops. I also developed the AIforTeens webpage. I am responsible for training all the Chapter Leads. It has been very gratifying to see so many teenagers locally and across the globe benefit by gaining working knowledge of AI and seeing the organization grow rapidly in its potential as well.
Lucas Mohr
I am a rising sophomore at Central Bucks High School South. Through my attendance in the AIforTeens workshops, I developed a strong foundation on machine learning and understood the necessity of AI. I have come to realize how essential it is that teens grow familiar with it. I joined AIforTeens organization to expand the program. I contact facilities like local libraries and education centers, that would be interested in hosting AI workshops and set up appointments, monitor emails, and information requests.
Meghna Vikram
I am a rising junior at Hagerty High School in Oviedo, Florida. I have been working with computers since the age of 10 and have won many awards from the US navy and other state awards. I attended the 3-Day online AIforTeens workshop and was very inspired to spread the word and help engage young minds share the love and passion I have for AI. I manage the Fb, Insta, Linked in pages and design new posts and stories. I also oversee a team of social media coordinators.
Pranav Singhal
I am a rising senior at North Penn High School, PA. I attended the AIforTeens workshop at AP Academy, and it rekindled my interest in Artificial Intelligence. I was the lead of Pennbrook news network and also volunteer with the IT dept in school. I believe it is critical to adapt to this new technology. I am invested in spreading the word about these workshops. I oversee a team of social media coordinators for managing the Fb, Insta, Linked In pages. I also develop creatives and stories in innovative ways.
