Lead Executive Director
Hi! My name is Andrew Zhang, and I am a junior in Ohio. My passion for STEM began with a Snap Circuits kit, where I was amazed that simple pieces could power a fan or light up a bulb. That curiosity led me to explore more, and now I want to help others experience the excitement of STEM. In my free time, I enjoy playing piano, tennis, and volunteering in my community.

Hi! I am a high school junior in California, and I am especially interested in the biomedical sciences, but I love learning about all areas of STEM. In the future, I hope to pursue medicine and work toward reducing healthcare disparities. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing soccer, going on walks with my dog, and spending time with friends. As Co-Executive Director at YPStem, I am excited to expand access to STEM resources for students from all backgrounds and encourage others to explore STEM.

I’m excited to collaborate with others and use my experiences for YPstem
Co-Director of Marketing
I want to be a part of the YPStem team because I want to make an impact on other students like me that are passionate about STEM that don’t have as many resources available to them. I am interested in STEM, particularly medicine because doctors in my life have had huge impacts on me and my loved ones’ lives and I hope to use the same care, knowledge, and passion to impact other people’s lives in the future. So far I have not done too much in STEM, rather than some classes that interest me in school or simply volunteering at hospitals. In the future I hope to become a child psychiatrist. I listen to a lot of different genres of music.

In the future, I hope to pursue a career in the business world. A fun fact about me is that I can eat a whole watermelon in one sitting!
