About Amey
A young mind chasing curiosity across math, robotics, and community.
Hi, I am Amey Karanjkar, a young STEM enthusiast and community leader from Manteca, California. I love turning curiosity into projects, whether that is a new robot chassis, a tricky proof, or a Saturday tutoring session.
I was honored to be named the 2026 Young Manteca City Ambassador, and I recently earned National Rank 8 and California State Rank 7 in the Math Kangaroo competition. Alongside that, I founded Kid Kalculators to help other students find their own love for math.
Through this website I share my journey, projects, and lessons, and I hope to encourage other young people to dream big, build often, and stay generous with what they learn.
