Who’s Behind This?

Hi! I'm Nikhil Kalakada, a high school junior in Frisco, TX. I started this site to make research more accessible to students like me, because I know how hard it is to find real, guided opportunities when you're just starting.

This is my personal passion project to bring others the opportunities I desire. Thanks for visiting, and I hope you find something here that sparks your curiosity!
