About
I’m Odysseus Abraham Kirikopoulos, an 11th-grade student from Epanomi, Greece. I am leading Simplified Coding, a non-profit dedicated to making programming accessible through free lessons. Also, I am a computer science tutor at Schoolhouse, where I support students from across the world, helping them build confidence and skills in computer science. Furthermore, I am part of the European Youth Parliament, which has given me the opportunity to participate in multiple conferences, represent Greece internationally, and contribute to organizing large-scale events. Currently, I’m preparing for the Panhellenic University Entrance Examination while continuing to focus on meaningful projects.
