Background
and Who We Are
We are Noah and Hannah, twins from Pasadena, California. We are junior in highschool. Last summer, we have had a chance to intern at an AI company in Tokyo for 1.5 months, studying about their AI technologies and assessing potential for the US market. Instructors who have Kaggle grandmasters taught us about AI applications and we were able to earn enough money to travel and enjoy life in Tokyo. We would like to have other American college and highschool students to have a same experience. We negotiated with the CEO of the company and organized this internship opportunity that is meaningful for both student and the sponsor. CVS Leadership Institute was an non-profit organization founded by our sponsor when he was a college student. The organization became dormant, so we are hoping to revive this organization and create international internship opportunities to American college and highschool students.
We are looking for students who are passionate about technology to help improve environmental sustainability, disaster prevention, and international business in general. We love Japanese food, anime, and J-Pop (also K-Pop). Join us if you have the same passion!
