Meet Our Team
At Sky Safari, we are a team of high school students dedicated to providing equitable access to STEM education. Driven by our shared love for science and technology, we aim to inspire and empower the next generation of innovators.
Arunabh (Arun) Pratik
President
Arun is a rising senior at the Princeton International School of Mathematics and Science. In third grade, an inflatable planetarium visited his school to show him the stars. Since then, he has been an avid enjoyer of astronomy and has pursued that passion throughout high school. In his sophomore year, he joined the STEMPower Network, a student-run organization that brings STEM experiments to children throughout New Jersey. There, he learned the impact STEM exposure can have on young minds from diverse backgrounds. Looking to expand this effort to his greatest passion, space, he started Sky Safari at the beginning of his junior year. Since then, he has personally held recurring sessions at locations such as Hamilton Public Library and LSA Family Health Services in East Harlem.
Kaylee Gordon
Outreach Coordinator
Kaylee is also a rising senior at the Princeton International School of Mathematics and Science. With experience teaching younger kids as a teaching assistant at Monmouth Fidelity Chinese School and as a summer camp counselor at Yinghua School in Princeton, she joined Sky Safari in early 2026, her junior year. As a student also interested in STEM, she wants to be able to inspire others to have that same passion and curiosity.
Sevastian Ivanov
Session Leader
Hi, I’m Sev, and I’m interested in all kinds of engineering, particularly mechanical and electrical engineering. In my free time, I enjoy working on electronics projects, playing soccer, hiking and alpine skiing, which I’ve been doing ever since the age of 2. I also occasionally play card games, design video games and compete with my friends in short-story writing. I want to share my engineering knowledge with the younger generation because I believe that curiosity-driven engineering and science are what push civilization forward. I hope to inspire others to explore, experiment, and develop their own passion for STEM and creating.
William Li
Session Leader
William is a rising junior with a strong interest in physics, particularly quantum physics and its connections to engineering. His interest began with a curiosity about how physics can explain and predict the behavior of the world around him, which gradually led him to pursue the subject beyond the classroom. He loves participating in Physics classes, competitions, and hands-on projects such as 3D-printing rocket nozzles. Through these experiences, he hopes to continue exploring the boundary between fundamental physics and its applications in emerging technologies. William hopes to share this love for physics through Sky Safari and inspire the future generation.
Jasper Lu
Session Leader
Jasper is a high school sophomore currently attending Princeton International School of Mathematics and Science(PRISMS). He is curious about how the natural world works, which is why he’s interested in both biology and earth & space science. Through teaching ecology and natural processes, he hopes to share this curiosity with younger students. By introducing students to the connections between organisms and the Earth, he strives to inspire them to ask questions and become curious about nature itself.
