Staff Spotlight

Here is what the staff have been up to the past few weeks!

4/27/25: STEM SURGE & Hitaji Stem Seminar: Introduction to Chemistry and Chemical Reactions

Staff member Rishi Shah pioneered the first STEM SURGE and Hitaji Seminar with the help of Claire Cheng, Wesley Yang, and Kailin Kang. The STEM SURGE events committee created the material to present, and Kailin presented it to the girls. The first seminar was a massive success and is available on YouTube!

STEM SURGE partnered with the Eastern Chinese American Community Society (ECACS) and the Chinese American Entrepreneur Society to co-host an exciting STEM fair filled with hands-on activities.

Thanks to the leadership of Claire Cheng, and help of Rishi Shah, Annie Jiang, Andrew Zhou, Nishka Bansal, Jessica Hao, and Claire Wang, we were able to hold this successful community event which earned STEM SURGE the Youth Innovation and Leadership Award, recognizing our team's commitment to accessible STEM education.
