About

Who runs Eaglets

Every role here is held by a student. The officer team turns over each year, which is part of the point, but it also means this page only lists people whose details are current and confirmed.

Alumni

Where members go next

Eaglets was founded by five students in their junior year of high school. Of those five, one went on to study electrical engineering and now volunteers as a peer instructor in a university makerspace; another served as president for two years and has since spent over a year teaching introductory computer science as a university teaching assistant.

Their accounts are written and waiting on one thing: their own sign-off on the wording. A person's biography is theirs to approve, not ours to assume, so this section stays as it is until they have read it.
