Join our Youth
Mentorship Program
We are a state and federally registered non-profit organization (501c3). The organization provides a unique and exciting environment for young people. It allows them to explore cutting-edge technology hands-on, focus, and cultivate key future skills. Through projects and activities for leadership skills.
Youth Mentorship Program: The Mentor will take on responsibilities, participate in event activities, collaborate, and share their knowledge with others. High school/ College students are welcome to become youth mentors. If you are interested and have excellent knowledge in Video Editing, Social Media/ Youtube, Online Gaming, Soldering Electronics, Fusion 360 3D Design, etc. Your Mentorship hour may qualify for school volunteer hour credit.
Leo (12) – Innovator & Mentor
Leo’s focus has always been to identify and cultivate his passions through deep, hands-on exploration. Driven by a natural curiosity, he dove into STEM fields early, supported in his study of diverse topics like Electric Power, Astronomy, Rocketry, and 3D Printing. His journey was never about being pushed to be "Talented," but about being encouraged to remain focused and consistent in pursuing what he loved. This dedication led him to become the youngest keynote speaker at Maker Faire OC 2023, a testament to the power of self-driven learning.
Demonstrating that true excellence comes from empowerment rather than forced achievement, Leo has applied his skills to real-world engineering challenges. As a co-founder of Rocketry Creations, he developed a multi-STEM program to share his knowledge with the next generation. Most notably, he pushed the boundaries of amateur aerospace by designing and fabricating a fully 3D-printed rocket to compete in the 2026 American Rocketry Challenge (ARC). By successfully engineering a flight-worthy airframe entirely out of 3D-printed components—navigating the strict 650-gram weight limit and aerodynamic constraints—Leo has not only carved his own unique path but is also providing a blueprint for other young engineers to modernize traditional rocketry.
Leo始终专注于通过深入的实践探索来发现和培养自己的兴趣。出于天生的好奇心，他很早就投身于STEM领域，并积极学习电力、天文学、火箭学和3D打印等多元化的课题。他的求知之路并非为了追求所谓的“天赋”，而是为了在追求热爱的事业中保持专注和坚持。正是这份执着，使他成为2023年Maker Faire OC最年轻的主题演讲嘉宾，这充分证明了自主学习的力量。
Leo用实际行动证明，真正的卓越源于赋能而非强迫，他将自己的技能应用于解决现实世界的工程难题。作为Rocketry Creations的联合创始人，他开发了一个涵盖多个STEM领域的项目，旨在将自己的知识传授给下一代。最值得一提的是，他设计并制造了一枚完全由3D打印材料制成的火箭，参加了2026年美国火箭挑战赛（ARC），从而突破了业余航空航天领域的界限。他成功地利用3D打印部件设计出一个可飞行的火箭机身，克服了严格的650克重量限制和空气动力学约束，不仅开辟了一条属于自己的独特道路，也为其他年轻工程师革新传统火箭技术提供了蓝图
Karl (17) -High-Impact & Modern
Karl is a senior at Portola High School and a dedicated aerospace enthusiast with a proven track record in the air and on the launchpad. As a NAR L1 high-powered rocket license holder, Karl serves as the payload compartment co-lead for a NASA Student Launch Initiative (SLI) team, where he specializes in the design, 3D printing, and deployment of complex model rockets.
Beyond engineering, Karl is a licensed private pilot with over 90 hours of flight time accumulated over the past two years. On campus, he shares his passion for flight as the founder and president of the Aviation & Aerospace Club, leading hands-on projects and field trips to inspire the next generation of engineers.
Karl是Portola高中的一名高年级学生，也是一位充满热情的航空航天爱好者，在飞行和发射台上都取得了不俗的成绩。他持有美国国家航空航天局（NAR）L1级高功率火箭执照，并担任美国国家航空航天局（NASA）学生发射计划（SLI）团队的有效载荷舱联合负责人，专门负责复杂模型火箭的设计、3D打印和部署。
除了工程学之外，卡尔还是一位持有执照的私人飞行员，在过去两年中积累了超过90小时的飞行时间。在校园里，他积极分享自己对飞行的热情，是航空航天俱乐部的创始人和主席，带领学生们开展实践项目和实地考察，以激励下一代工程师
