Karly Hou is a sophomore at Harvard majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics. With friends, Karly launched Wave Learning Festival back in April 2020 n response to long-standing educational inequities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Within a few months, Wave Learning Festival was able to serve 300+ free, live, engaging seminars on diverse topics like "The Mathematics of Burritos" to "Quantum Physics".

Wave Learning Festival partnered with 600+ schools and community organizations serving low-income and homeless youth to ensure their resources can reach those who need them most. Wave Learning Festival has also launched our free tutoring program, college application series, and career series to provide support and guidance to students making their way in online school.
