Tell us about yourself along with a fun fact!
Hi! I am Yashwee Kothari. I am a Senior at Morris County School of Technology studying in the Academy of Computer and Information Sciences. I am really passionate about creating technology and promoting computer science. My passion led me to co-found my school’s first high school hackathon, hackMCST (https://hackmcst.tech) and started a Technology Club (http://mcsttechclub.github.io/). I also enjoy competing at other high school and college hackathons. In fact we are having our first 24-hour hackathon this December! Fun fact I moved to the United States when I was 5 years old.
