IncludAI: The Neurodiversity Hackathon
Build AI tools that actually work for neurodivergent learners — by the community, for the community. Most AI tools in education were designed for neurotypical users. We're changing that. Join a 1-week virtual hackathon where students build AI-powered tools designed with neurodivergent youth in mind. The best projects will be showcased at the Stanford Neurodiversity Summit in September 2026.

Isabella Guan
Founder & President
Hi, my name is Isabella, the founder and president of IncludEDU. I am passionate about neurodiversity and founded this nonprofit as a platform for advocacy and support for ALL children. I especially want to provide resources for students often underserved in traditional educational spaces. Beyond this, I work towards bringing awareness and have created Read Buddy, an interactive reading app, and Focus Mind, a digital toolkit for students with ADHD or attention difficulties.

Larry Cui
Vice President
Hello, my name is Larry Cui, the Vice President of IncludEDU. I am deeply passionate about supporting children with ADHD and ensuring they receive equal access to quality education. My motivation stems from annual voluntary teaching trips to rural schools in the mountains of China from 2013 to 2025. Many of the children I met faced not only limited resources but also challenges with focus and learning, often linked to ADHD. These experiences inspired my commitment to developing innovative solutions, such as our ADHD-supportive earplugs, to help students in underserved communities. We aim to begin by assisting children in remote regions of China and eventually expand our efforts globally. I firmly believe that every child, regardless of background or ability, can thrive with the proper support.

Wendy Liu
VP of Operations
Hello, my name is Wendy Liu, the Vice President of Operations of IncluEDU. I have long held a deep interest in psychology and neuroscience. While I was previously aware of ADHD, my understanding of its underlying causes and neurological basis significantly deepened after studying AP Psychology and participating in the BrainBee competition. Through this experience, I developed a comprehensive understanding of the pathology of ADHD and became more aware of the large number of individuals affected by it. Motivated by this knowledge, I am committed alongside my teammates to supporting those living with ADHD and working to ease the challenges they face.

Penny Liang
VP of Finance
Blessings, my name is Penny Liang, the Vice President of Finance of IncludEDU. I am committed to creating meaningful change through this project. My passion for helping others began at 13 when I started volunteering, and it has only grown stronger over the years. Recently, my aunt gave birth to a child after years of trying, but the baby was diagnosed with ADHD. This personal experience inspired me to support children with learning differences. I believe our work's impact would extend far beyond individual families. I am dedicated to helping bring compassion, support, and equal opportunities to children with ADHD worldwide.

Andrew Pan
VP of Engineering
Hello, my name is Andrew Pan! I am the VP of Engineering. I am passionate about supporting ADHD awareness in children as I have been personally affected. I have always struggled with focusing in class and during activities. Interestingly, I noticed my musical studies have helped me concentrate, which led me to discover and learn about the potential modified harmonies have on how we think and feel. I hope to use this connection to help support children with ADHD.
