BIOGRAPHY

Devin_Wong_Secondary - Devin Wong.PNG
As a sixth-year student of 49ers STEM Leadership Institute (SLI), Devin is a passionate individual who is always on the hunt for better ideas and determined to excel in all of his classes. Devin has explored his interest in engineering and technology through various competitions such as the FIRST Tech Challenge, Maker Faire, and the Tech Challenge. Devin embraces the unconventional by incorporating odd solutions, such as chopstick axles and a Solo cup intake, into his robot designs. 

Devin has also spent time paying it forward to the community through his work with Team Taro on the hackathon TaroHacks and his initiative with Team Re-Act to increase environmental literacy throughout the district. As a founder of one the Pay It Forward legacy teams, Devin has ensured that his efforts will continue on with younger members of SLI long after he graduates.  

When not tinkering around in the FAB Lab, Devin loves biking through the hills overlooking Cupertino or playing tennis with friends. Devin also enjoys exploring San Francisco and Santa Cruz with family. 
The 49ers STEM Leadership Institute (49ers SLI) provides multi-year, year-round academic support, STEM enrichment, skills training, and leadership opportunities to students in middle and high school. Students, who are with the program for six years from 7th through 12th grade, commit annually to 300+ hours of program learning time in addition to their typical school hours. By cultivating student mastery in STEM subjects and in key skill areas, the program prepares students for college and empowers them to pursue their passions; so that they may become the well-rounded leaders of the future. The 49ers STEM Leadership Institute is made possible by the strong partnership between Silicon Valley Education Foundation, 49ers Foundation, Chevron, and the Santa Clara Unified School District.
