Leo

Two-Year Blueprint + Counsel | Georgia Tech + CMU SCS

Insight: Leo had coded since 6th grade, with GitHub to prove it—but his activities felt too technical for readers outside STEM. We taught him how to humanize his love of AI and make it resonate across disciplines.

Strategy & Execution

AI Ethics Essay

Guided Leo to publish a 12-page analysis on bias in diagnostic imaging models; peer-reviewed by a Google AI researcher we introduced.

Competition Strategy

Targeted Technovation, AI4Good, and Regeneron; aligned each submission with distinct facets of his project to avoid “double-dipping.”

Passion Project Elevation

Integrated an explainability heat-map, deployed on Heroku, and wrote user docs for non-tech clinicians.

Voice Coaching

Rehearsed TED-style pitches, filmed a 60-second “elevator talk,” then helped him host an AI workshop for 40 middle-schoolers.
