Our Story
Project Synapse was founded as a neuroscience club in 2021 by thirteen-year-old Anisha Pandey. Wanting to bring Brain Bee prep materials to her suburban town of Mountain House, CA, she formed a small group of students that would discuss problems in neuroscience, brain anatomy, and more.
​
However, Anisha noticed that one of her family friends with autism was struggling to find opportunities for a specialized education while at home. Seeing the education disparities and depression rates spike over the pandemic, Project Synapse slowly shifted its goals towards providing for the neurodivergent population.
​
After three years of conducting local projects and initiatives, Project Synapse received its official 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in late 2023, allowing for the organization to expand its goal further with federal tex-exempt status.
​
Today, Project Synapse's founder, executive team and volunteers continue to dedicate their efforts towards providing inclusive education and volunteering services for kids with neurodivergent disorders.
