Meet Service Star Shubham Roy-Choudhury, 14. He’s the founder of Lunar Academy, a student-led program in New Jersey. It provides free tutoring and educational resources. TFK Kid Reporter Vicky Sun spoke with Shubham about his efforts.
What motivated you to create Lunar Academy?
My team and I created Lunar because we wanted to support students who don’t have easy access to education. We offer tutoring, workshops, and digital resources.
What are your objectives for this program?
We want to provide students with learning opportunities that fit their needs.
What are some of your organization’s greatest accomplishments?
One of our greatest accomplishments is developing Pathfinder AI. This project helps students discover programs or internships that align with their interests. It makes their experience more personalized.
What’s the most rewarding part of running a nonprofit like Lunar?
Knowing that we’re making a true difference in students’ lives. Being able to support learners who might not have access to the resources they need is truly fulfilling.
What kind of positive impact has Lunar made so far?
Lunar has helped more than 700 students from around the world improve their skills in areas such as math and computer science.
How do you plan to continue the tutoring program?
I hope to expand Lunar by hosting in-person and virtual events that showcase our community’s progress.
