In our Dialogue Club, we will alternate our sessions between two powerful themes: AI & Youth Wellness and Civics & Legal Discussions. AI & Youth Wellness: Led by Ashvik, who has extensive experience in AI, deep learning, and mental health-focused projects. Civics & Legal Discussions: Led by Olivia, an experienced debater with a passion for democracy and global issues. Join a virtual Dialogue Club to form a community with students from around the world. Dialogue Clubs meet every other week to discuss a new topic. By participating in 3+ Dialogue sessions, you will get a Dialogues portfolio you can submit with your college applications to our university partners.

In this two-part series, we’ll explore what mental health really means, why it matters for teens, and how small daily habits can make a big difference.  In Session 1, we’ll unpack key concepts around emotional wellness, common stressors (like academics and social media), and why mental health still carries stigma.  In Session 2, we’ll dive deeper into the social and digital side of mental wellness. Through interactive discussions, real-life scenarios, and hands-on activities, students will explore techniques like gratitude journaling, anchoring habits, and sleep routines that help recharge the mind. We’ll also look at how social media affects our mood and connection, and end with a peer challenge to build a new wellness habit.  Both sessions are designed to be approachable, empowering, and rooted in science-backed strategies, with bonus resources including top wellness apps.

I’m leading a two-part workshop series called “Foundations of AI: From Concepts to Impact” to introduce students to the fundamentals of AI, ethics, and building their own projects. In Session 1, we’ll explore what AI is through real-world examples, then dive into machine learning concepts like data, models, and predictions. I’ll share my journey creating Axelo.org, and guide students through building a simple ML model. We’ll also discuss ethics bias, fairness, and how to prioritize privacy and equity in tech. In Session 2, I’ll break down how neural networks work with visuals and analogies and show students different pathways into AI. Students will then brainstorm their own AI projects using a template to think through a real-world problem, the data they’d use, and the kind of model that could help. I’ll close by sharing how I turned Axelo from an idea into a real product, to show what’s possible with the right mindset and tools.

Hi everyone! I’m Ashvik , and I’m excited to host this AI Fundamentals series. I’m a rising senior in high school with over five years of experience in coding, AI, and machine learning. Alongside completing AP Computer Science, I’ve deepened my knowledge through AI programs at Harvard, Cambridge, and others, and recently earned NVIDIA’s Professional Certifications in AI. For the last two years, I’ve been building an AI-powered mental health companion that supports underserved teens using tools like computer vision, deep learning, and voice analysis and am excited for its upcoming launch next month. I’ve also been working on research with professors on projects at the intersection of AI, healthcare, and quantum computing. In this series, I’ll introduce you to the world of AI, help you start thinking like a builder, and hopefully show you how AI can be used to make a real impact.

I’ve tutored several SAT Bootcamps, enrichment sessions, and also leading a dialog club. Join this Onboarding Session required for Tutors participating in their first SAT Bootcamp! You’ll go over useful tutoring skills and have the chance to meet other Bootcamp tutors like you.

Objective 1: Build awareness and reduce stigma around mental health in teens. Objective 2: Share actionable wellness strategies that teens can use every day.

Hey everyone! I’m Ashvik. I’ve tutored 3 SAT Bootcamps (24 Sessions) and particularly love to talk about math and video games. I have also been coding for last six years and am currently working on launching my AI Startup. Join this Onboarding Session required for Tutors participating in their first SAT Bootcamp! You’ll go over useful tutoring skills and have the chance to meet other Bootcamp tutors like you.
