At WaveMakers, we strive to spark technical ingenuity and musical curiosity in the next generation of makers by guiding them through the art and science of building and programming their own theremin instruments. By blending hands-on electronics with creative coding, we aspire to spread our passion for engineering and make a positive impact in our community.
WaveMakers is a registered nonprofit organization in the state of New Jersey.
Our team is composed of passionate STEM educators and students from the Bergen County Academies. We specialize in making complex technology topics accessible and fun.
As the original spark behind WaveMakers, Raunak is an enthusiastic innovator, who has 5+ years of experience with software engineering and embedded hardware development. When he's not tinkering with a new microcontroller or coding the next new algorithm, he enjoys flying model rockets, trekking with his dog, or inspiring a love for science in his community's next-generation.
An avid computer scientist, lifelong learner, and passionate educator, Thomas is a core contributor to WaveMakers' operations. With a proven track record in software development and computer science education, he is excited to empower future computer scientists and engineers. He enjoys computer programming, watching documentaries, and expanding his home network.
Leo is an essential part of the WaveMakers' project designs and has pursued his passion for engineering through a range of hands-on projects—from building a shoebox arcade game to reverse-engineering a dip coater. Outside the workshop, he plays tuba for fun and performs bassoon with the NJ Symphony Youth Orchestra. In his free time, he also enjoys fishing and playing basketball.
