Meet Our Founders

John Lee, one of the founders of TechSprouts.

John Lee

I attend Lawrenceville School (co ‘27), and cofounding TechSprouts is something I am really proud of because it combines many of my passions: helping others, STEM, and inspiring younger students. I enjoy Chemistry and Biology, but I also love reading a good dystopian novel and playing ice hockey.

Justin Na, one of the founders of TechSprouts.

I attend the Academy for Technology and Computer Science (co ‘27), and I cofounded TechSprouts to break down the barriers to technology access and STEM education. I am committed to empowering the underserved communities to develop their problem solving and creative thinking skills so that they may succeed in the digital economy.

Danny Paik, one of the founders of TechSprouts.

I attend the Academy for the Advancement of Science and Technology (co ‘27), and I feel privileged to be studying STEM after witnessing its limited access in other parts of the world. I was inspired to start this organization with my fellow middle school friends to inspire underrepresented children discover the same passion I have in the STEM field.

Eugene Quintana

I attend Bergen Catholic high school (co ‘26), and I am passionate about making STEM education accessible to all. Through robotics, I realized that each one of us can be critical thinkers. I hope to be an example to other children that STEM education is valuable, confidence-building and most importantly, fun!
