avi mishraMysparkAvi Mishra, a senior at John P. Stevens High School. Being an avid enthusiast of technology, Avi naturally has gravitated towards computing since a very young age. He aims to spread his knowledge among the youth or as well as anyone wanting to learn more about technology. Avi believes that every student deserves to learn, regardless of their physical and mental abilities. Race, color, disability, gender should never come in the way of pursuing one’s own passion.
Since the past two years, Avi has been teaching young kids basic computing skills as a volunteer/staff member at Code Ninja while improving his own skills in languages such as Java, Scratch, Python, HTML/CSS, Visual Basic and JavaScript. He started his own coaching club to train younger kids for participating in the ACSL competition. At school Avi is the captain of his Odyssey of the Mind team for creating innovative ideas to solve OM’s unique open-ended problems. To further create impact, he founded mySpark to address the issue of underprivileged children lacking awareness of their talents, reducing their opportunities for success - and help them meet the JOBS of the FUTURE! In his spare time, Avi expresses his emotions through painting and sketching, some of which have been selected as a winner for the Blick Art competition over the years. While pursuing his passion for art, he also creates digital marketing materials from time to time for local community events. |
