Review for TeachAids, Stanford, CA, USA
TeachAids is a one of a kind organization that I am so lucky to have been a part of. I took Dr. Piya Sorcar's class in Winter of 2025 initially interested in how early childhood disparities in health can impact children's learning styles, education, and future, and the depth of information and impact I took away was more than I could have ever imagined. It's one thing to learn about statistics and frameworks on an academic level, but it is a whole different experience and reality seeing implementation in communities, where approaches that seem sound in theory often fall short due to cultural and contextual factors and lived experiences that academic models cannot ever fully capture.
I was so struck by the mission and impact of TeachAids that I became a volunteer this year after my winter course ended, hoping to use principles and learnings we were taught in making educational and impactful videos for my sports community, engaging a partnership between TeachAids and Stanford Club Sports to raise more awareness about concussion education and lessons from collegiate athletes to hopefully be a model for younger athletes to look up to. I'm really excited to see what the future of the organization holds!
