Kai is a New York City based high school student who loves to build projects, craft photos and enjoy nature.

Living in Manhattan, Kai began building with blocks when he was little. Over time, he grew a love for designing and building with his hands. In sixth grade, he co-founded a robotics team outside of school with some friends, which became #1 in the city by 7th grade. In eighth grade, during the COVID-19 lockdown, he explored his love for design through photography while spending time in nature. In ninth grade, he began work on two research projects. The first involves shark conservation, and another looks into the effects of vehicle pollution on Lichen.
