Project Lead the Way Mentor, Martin Luther King High School, Riverside, CA
I was a mentor in the Technovation
Challenge program in NYC. Our team won 1st place in NYC and went on to the national competition at Google HQ
where we placed 3rd overall! Go Firebirds! Read about the team and our winning app in this Huffington Post article.
