The Team Behind THHYE
Student volunteers passionate about closing the digital divide in our community.
How THHYE Started
Aarav and Aryan aren't just co-founders — they're friends who grew up together. It was watching their own grandparents struggle with a video call or a suspicious text message that made the problem click for them. As students who've never known a world without a smartphone, they realized they were uniquely positioned to bridge that gap. So they decided that instead of waiting for someone else to fix it, they'd be the ones to do it — and THHYE was born.
Aarav Patel is an incoming sophomore at Dublin Jerome High School. He's an aspiring entrepreneur who builds what he pitches — AI-powered web apps, games, and the technology behind THHYE itself. Aarav leads the organization's technology, curriculum, and digital presence. He believes that seniors and students alike deserve to feel confident with the tools shaping their world, not left behind by them. Through THHYE, Aarav is learning that the best businesses start by solving a problem for someone who needs it.
