"During my first Computer Science (CS) course in college, I faced significant challenges due to my lack of prior experience. That experience fueled a deep passion within me to support students who are preparing for college-level CS courses. And I am committed to providing them with the guidance and resources they need to excel—not just in the classroom, but in building successful careers in the tech industry." - Kyi Lei Aye, Microsoft TEALS Program Volunteer

"I’m looking forward to working closely with students, educators, and fellow volunteers to make a meaningful impact and foster a love for technology and coding." - Park Si Chan, 2024-25 TEALS volunteer
