About

In this series, we will explore how various aspects of technology impact our lives. We will examine the journeys of successful companies that reached great heights, as well as the decline of those that were once considered too big to fail. Additionally, we will delve into how specific technological phenomena work. Finally, we will conclude the series with a debate on a technology-related topic. If you have any questions about the series, feel free to direct message me or ask!😄

Hi there! You’ve reached the profile of a slightly insane person. If you’d like to stay unchanged, please leave. If you’d like to be pulled into a never-ending cycle of being very mildly maniacal, please continue. I’m Vismai, a middle schooler from Arizona. I'm happy to help and ask for help. I'm a Senior Tutor in R&W, and also tutor Computer Science, Statistics, Biology, Pre-Algebra, and Algebra 1. I'm also an intermediate peer reviewer. By the way, my name is pronounced "is my" with a "v" at the start - not that it's hard. I asked for some ideas on what to write, and one question was "What do you do in your free time?" Um, what's free time again? Just kidding (kind of). Jokes aside, I like: - linguistics - coding in Golang, Dart, TypeScript, and Python - debate and MUN - swimming - singing & the performing arts On weekends, you can usually find me buried in some weird sci-fi book.

Hi there! You are viewing the profile of a person who is the perfect example of a "too perfect" boy. My name is Balaskandan Rajmohan (please go ahead and call me Bala). If you want to attempt to pronounce my name, do so with my guidance. Bah- La- SK- An-Dan. I'm an 8th grader from Maryland going into 9th grade coming August 2025. I strive to help people achieve their goals and their inner sense of "SCIENCE." As Newton stated, "An Object Will Remain at Rest Unless Another Force Is Acted Upon It and An Object Will Stay in Motion Unless Another Force is Acted Upon It." As you have heard from the Law of Inertia, I want to make everyone's mindset a GROWING MINDSET rather a FIXED MINDSET. Yes, the Law of Inertia does relate to it: JUST THINK! As you have seen from my laws, I LOVE SCIENCE!!! I love Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, and importantly, NEUROSCIENCE! I love to learn and aspire my thinking to exploring the brain! In my free time, I love to DO SCIENCE, prepare for a Science Olympiad or any Science related competitions, or just chill in a corner and read Alan Gratz Books. I also love the Workman Publishing, "EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT: High School Series" Science Books such as Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Computer Science, Calculus or even World History! I also have 2-3 years of experience in MUN and have attended 4 conferences. I also have some debate experience (not a lot!). I really love learning about history and the world!
