    During my sophomore year of high school, I took an OnRamps statistics class. I didn't think much of the subject and I certainly didn't think it would come to offer me the sense of direction it has today. Last week I had the opportunity to co-present two SXSW EDU workshops alongside Eli Solomon and Isabel Epistelomogi, speaking with over 80 educators, parents, community leaders, and innovators on the topic of student-led civic education. During both presentations, I used many of the skills I learned in that statistics class to present our evidence that discourse-based, interactive civics education can help youth better understand and engage with today's most polarizing topics. Throughout high school, I saw teachers navigate the challenge of discussing current events while acknowledging diverse perspectives. These workshops aimed to help by: 1. Presenting research-backed strategies for implementing discussion-based civics education in classrooms. 2. Showcasing student-designed activities that facilitate conversations on topics like the Israel-Palestine conflict, gun policy, and affirmative action. I'm grateful to the Institute for Youth in Policy—especially my incredible teammates, Eli Solomon, Isabel Epistelomogi, Lalitaditya Akkaraju, Henry Tan, Rohit Kelkar, Manas Sinha—for providing me with a platform to contribute these skills to a mission that has grown to reach over 5,800 students. I am also grateful to my community for their encouragement throughout the past several weeks, and especially my sophomore-year statistics teacher who helped me understand the relevance of this subject outside of the classroom. Encourage the students you know, especially those in high school, to pursue unconventional opportunities because you never know the sense of direction it might offer them.

    I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to present with Maryam Zoweil today at SXSW EDU in Austin, TX about our work at the Institute for Youth in Policy creating activities to help high school students have civil conversations about the Israel-Palestine Conflict. I couldn't have asked for a better stage to discuss this important topic. Thank you to all the educators who came out to see us!

    It's been a busy fall, but I wanted to take the time to share that I was awarded first place in the Institute for Youth in Policy's policy pitch contest! My submission recommended that the United States invest more resources into providing nutritious and high-quality foods for disadvantaged communities. Not only would this provide greater equity, but it would also reduce illness and healthcare spending. I am so thankful to the organization, and proud of myself for trying something new. I plan to bring this energy into 2025!

  • New Policy Brief Published! ?? Excessive social media use, over three hours daily, doubles the risk of anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges among teens, according to studies highlighted by Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. ?? Key options include enhanced age verification and parental controls, mandatory mental health impact assessments for social media platforms, and integrating digital literacy and mental health education into school curriculums. ?? Murthy emphasizes the need for social media companies to share data on health impacts, undergo independent safety audits, and prioritize user well-being by redesigning harmful platform features like infinite scrolling.

  • New Policy Brief Published! ?? The United States has committed over $175 billion in aid to Ukraine since 2022, including advanced weaponry, intelligence, and training, solidifying its role as the top supporter of Ukraine's resistance against Russia. ?? The Russo-Ukraine War has reshaped international alliances, with NATO expanding and Western countries united in support of Ukraine. This conflict highlights a renewed divide between Western democracy and Eastern authoritarianism, with far-reaching effects on global politics and security. ?? As the war stagnates, the U.S. faces critical decisions about continuing aid, withdrawal, or increased involvement. Each option has profound implications for Ukraine's sovereignty, European stability, and the global balance of power. Read more about it: https://lnkd.in/grAmvCVY
