Mentors
The founding mentors of SmartQuad are Harshatej Simhadri, Harshitha Simhadri, Navya Balineni, Shreya Ambekar, Abhinav Simhadri, Krishna Pranav Simhadri and Sanjana Simhadri . The original main goal was to help children of a similar age in their neighborhoods improve their Math, Science, Computer science, and Leadership skills.
