Kabir Kishore

Hi, I'm Kabir Kishore! I'm an 8th grader at Hopkins Junior High School in Fremont, California. I love working on robotics, 3D printing, and coding in C++ for Arduino, Python, and JavaScript. I really enjoy combining mechanical design with software, frequently using web app builders like Bolt, Lovable, and Replit to turn my ideas into functional tools.

Some of my achievements are:

Elite World Record: Part of the team that completed the longest virtual Shloka recitation marathon.
App Projects: Built a home library app that scans barcodes, a stock market tracking app, and a household task manager.
Electronics: Designed and programmed hands-on Arduino projects using C++ to work with sensors and control logic.
3D Printing: Taught myself 3D printing through repeated hands-on projects, learning to adjust designs and troubleshoot print settings.

When I'm not coding or working on STEM projects, I like playing volleyball and pickleball. In my free time, I love speedcubing, playing chess, practicing yo-yo tricks, and constantly tinkering with new 3D prints.
