Brijae B.
Livermore, CA, United States | (Aspiring) Las Positas College, Software Engineering
Always one to rotate between activities while constantly finding new interests, Brijae has been involved in a plethora of extracurriculars including, but not limited to, theatre, robotics, orchestra, choir, photography, and yearbook. Brijae's time at iD Tech allowed her to experiment in multiple fields of STEM where she's studied C++, Java, Python, Web and App Development, Photography, and emerging technologies in the inaugural year at AcademyNEXT. After 7 years of iD Tech, she went on to major in computer studies and hopes to have her degree in Computer Science by 2024. Brijae credits the time she spent at iD Tech with building confidence in tackling various fields in technology. Whether it is computer engineering, software engineering, game design, or robotics, she is grateful she got to experiment in an environment that was fun yet challenging, welcoming, and encouraging to those with curious minds.


Alex C.
Seattle, Washington, United States | Montana State University, Computer Science
Outside of attending iD Tech for years, Alex and his high school robotics team advanced to the Washington State Finals for the First Tech Challenge robotics competition. When he’s not designing, building and programming robots, Alex stays active. With 9 years of Aikido under his belt, he has achieved the rank of nidan (rank of 2nd dan). He gives back by teaching some of the younger classes. In addition, he’s played competitive soccer for 6 years providing a strong backstop for his team’s defensive line. He also enjoys running, reading, and playing board games with his friends and family.


Ben T.
Winter Park, FL, United States | (Aspiring) NYU, Digital Design
Ben, a National Honor Society student, loves technology and enjoys unleashing his creativity using it to create art and design. The game design courses Ben took at iD Tech, along with his passion for Japanese anime, have come together in Ben’s creative and artistic pursuit of internships and college programs that have collaborative majors with computing and art departments. Outside of technology, Ben taught himself Japanese and is now heading to Fukuoka, Japan to attend a language and cultural school. In addition, Ben is a competitive and accomplished athlete in fencing training 8-10 hours/week with a three-time world champion.


Eduardo M.
Madrid, Spain | (Aspiring) Stanford, Computer Science
Over the years, Eduardo, has learned numerous coding languages such as Python (API interactions/machine learning), Arduino (smart appliances), Node.JS (Discord bots), Sonic PI, Java (modules for different programs), C++ and C# (encryptors/decryptors). By the time he was 14, he was able to design a tycoon-like android game and make his projects available online at Github. During his time at Academy Next, he worked with a group to design Todbot, an initiative designed to save lives with 3D mapping software and autonomous navigation. Eduardo has also designed smart appliances on his own using 3D design, web design, and electronics. In his free time, he teaches programming to other students (and teachers) so they can develop their skills and he can improve his own skills. Eduardo is also the recipient of many merit awards at his school.


Ashley J.
Chicago, IL, United States | (Aspiring) George Washington University, Cybersecurity
Ashley took her first iD Tech course in 7th grade, and has been hooked on programming since. Combining her obsession of puzzles and ciphers with her love of programming, Ashley plans on pursuing a Bachelors in Computer Science and a Masters in Cybersecurity. Ashley largely credits iD Tech for her knowledge in multiple programming languages including Python, Java, and C++, concepts such as machine learning and cybersecurity, as well as setting a solid foundation to explore the world of programming on her own. When she isn’t programming, Ashley is president of her school’s Adventure Games Club, which plays tabletop games such as Dungeons & Dragons; Ashley can also be found sketching and painting, reading, or practicing for her next Science Olympiad or Math Modeling tournament. A previous summer IT intern at her high school, Ashley would like to continue to work in the tech field, aiming for a career in forensic computer analysis, security analyst, or cryptanalysis.


Neev L.
Pittsburgh, PA, United States | (Aspiring) Stanford University, Engineering
Neev Lamba has been a part of iD Tech programs for six years now, including AcademyNEXT and credits them for establishing a solid foundation in various programming languages, including Python and C++, as well as complex topics involving machine learning and AI. He plans to study engineering or computer science in college. Neev is also a member of the Pittsburgh Youth Concert Orchestra (PYCO) which is a music-centered honor orchestra. As a cello player, he has been involved in playing challenging pieces throughout high school. Last summer, Neev volunteered as a coding teacher at a local organization known as Steel City Codes. Because of his experiences with iD Tech, he was able to act as a teacher and educate younger students on the basics of the Python language. This summer he is working once again with that organization. In the future Neev hopes to join iD Tech as an instructor to give back to other students.
