School Activities
1 / Leaders of Economics and Finance in America
Rayan recognized a void for learning opportunities in personal finance for students; thus, his amalgamation of the Leaders of Economics and Finance in America. Alongside his peers, Rayan gives weekly lectures on crucial topics about money management and economic concepts. From C-Suite executives of large companies like Unilever and Anthem Health to newly graduated financial analysts, Rayan brought in those who could teach the next generation of students.
2 / Science for Humanity
After being invited to start a research club, Rayan learned about the limited opportunities for rising high school students to pursue independent research. Alongside his partner, Rayan presents research opportunities to rising high schoolers and connects current researchers with an audience and network.
3 / Honor Societies
Rayan participated in the National Math Honor Society, National Technical Honor Society, National Science Honor Society, and National Society of High School Scholars. For his community service, Rayan created informational videos about STEM topics that are used for tutoring students at the Howard County Library System.
4 / Robotics
When Rayan began high school, he was most excited about joining his school’s robotics team. Rayan had spent his younger years building drones and LEGO contraptions, and robotics was his next logical step. As a freshman, he joined his school robotics club until it became obsolete.
