About Us | Sprout Lab

Meet The Team

We are high school students who once found robotics courses confusing and limited. As a result we created Sprout Lab, an organization aiming to make robotics clear, fun, and tailored to every child’s needs.

Aditya Suri Mohan

I have been passionate about robotics since eighth grade and am currently a research student in Princeton University’s Laboratory Learning Program (LLP), where I am authoring a research paper on ECG analysis using deep learning. My work focuses on developing assistive technologies for individuals with Autism, including a heat-sensing sleep calmer that helps users return to sleep after waking, and a sensory table I designed and built for Eden Autism as part of my Eagle Scout project.

As Captain of the Simply Complex FTC Robotics team, I lead the programming, mechanical design, and construction of our robot, while mentoring newer members across disciplines. I’ve gained extensive experience with Raspberry Pi and embedded systems and am especially passionate about leveraging technology to make a meaningful impact. In pursuit of this mission, I’m committed to mentoring children and teams to build the technical skills they need to create solutions for real-world challenges

Karthik Chimalakonda

I have been passionate about robotics since second grade. As a member of my World Robot Olympiad (WRO) team, I’ve had the privilege of qualifying for the International competition three years in a row, consistently securing first place at the national level. Currently, I serve as the Mechanical Lead for Simply Complex, where I oversee both the CAD design and physical construction of our FTC robot.

Beyond robotics competitions, I actively share my engineering journey on my YouTube channel, where several of my project videos have garnered over 4,000 views. Some of my most memorable creations include a fully 3D-printed racing car capable of speeds exceeding 25 MPH and an innovative, fully automated robotic lemonade stand that prepares refreshing lemonade with remarkable precision

Srikanth Sunny Mohan

I have been passionate about robotics since seventh grade and currently serve as the Mechanical Lead of Simply Complex, my FTC robotics team. In this role, I oversee mechanical design and construction and spearheaded our team’s prosthetics initiative, collaborating with E-Nable to design and produce custom prosthetic arms for children in the Philippines, Uganda, and India. I also lead the TSA Drone Challenge team as captain, directing both engineering and strategic planning. One of my favorite projects is an ongoing effort to develop a pacing system that helps track athletes maintain consistent speed during training sessions

Maanas Devulapalli

I have been passionate about entrepreneurship from a young age and currently serve as the Business Lead of Sprout Lab, our school’s club for building custom robots and supporting robotics enthusiasts. In this role, I oversee fundraising, partnerships, and strategic planning to help the club grow and take on impactful projects. I am also the president of my school’s Young Entrepreneurs Club, where I lead workshops and mentor students on launching ventures. Over the years, I have competed in several entrepreneurship competitions, gaining experience in business strategy, innovation, and leadership. As a senior, I continue to focus on connecting entrepreneurial skills with real-world projects to create meaningful impact.
