San Diego, CA (PRUnderground) February 22nd, 2021
As schools shut down due to COVID-19 in the spring of 2020, concerns over unequal access to education arose. To address this, The Helyx Initiative, a high school student-run nonprofit founded in 2019, launched various free online programs to provide accessible science and research opportunities for youth.
“I originally intended Helyx to be a school club that exposed aspiring young scientists to many science subjects by bringing in guest speakers and conducting lab demos and workshops. I wanted to provide free opportunities for kids to get involved with science and research,” said Andrew Gao, a high school junior and the organization’s founder and CEO. “Of course, the pandemic threw a wrench in our plans, so we needed to adapt.”
