Hayden Karas

Hi, I'm Hayden Karas , a Computer Science major from Cranston, Rhode Island. I am currently a freshman at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science. I've always loved learning, from physics to technology to engineering, and began coding in fifth grade. I value my relationships more than anything else in the world, and try to learn something new every single day.

My journey into the world of technology began with a fascination for how things work and a relentless curiosity to dig deeper. Starting with the idea of creating Minecraft mods in third grade, I started with game development with Scratch and then slowly learned new technologies, languages, and frameworks. Entering high school, I began entering technology classes and doing various projects. This resulted in entering the SkillsUSA game development competition , winning states two years in a row and placing top 10 nationally twice.
