About the Club Organizer 
Arnav Chaudhary is a junior at New Canaan High School. He is passionate about technology and has been programming Scratch since he was 4 years old, and Python since he was 7. Due to this early exposure, he has tinkered with technology for a long time and gained experience in development, including in advanced, upcoming topics, such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. He is the developer of QuickAI, a Python library with over 25,000 downloads. QuickAI allows for the rapid creation of AI systems with very few, often single-digit lines of code, greatly lowering the initial barrier to entry for AI.  He has been involved with Hack Club for several years.
