2020 was a challenging year because of the pandemic. Schools could not run in-person classes, and many students had to stay at home. Kids in under-resourced areas were particularly impacted, with many not graduating from high school due to a lack of resources and support. I founded BeHASSTic with the mission to help foster interest in HASST (Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, and Technology), address important social issues, and increase access to equitable educational opportunities for students all around the world.
