Emilio Saenz

Emilio is a 17-year-old founder and the creator of NaveganteAZ, a resource that helps Arizona families find bilingual education programs.

He has presented his work to the Arizona State Board of Education and shared it through Arizona news outlets. Impactfully turns the process he used into a repeatable framework for other high school students.

His premise is simple: students do not need to wait until they are older to solve a real problem — and the framework works across interests, from education and research to technology, events, and community resources.
