About me

Hi, I’m Ahmet Emre Canoglu, and I’m a senior at Okemos High School in Michigan. Originally from Turkey, I’ve always been driven by a love for engineering, robotics, and figuring out how things work. Whether I’m designing robots or managing a new project, I’m passionate about using technology to solve problems and bring people together.

Currently, I’m the Vice President of Sponsorship at Students of STEM, where I help secure partnerships that support educational opportunities for students interested in science and technology. I also founded Turkey Strong, a platform created in response to the 2023 earthquake in Turkey, designed to help people find missing loved ones by connecting reports with rescue teams. That experience reinforced my belief in technology’s ability to make a real difference in people’s lives.

I’m also the founder of TNT Media, a social platform that connects FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) teams and enthusiasts, allowing them to collaborate and share their work. Robotics has always been a big part of my life, and TNT Media lets me give back to that community.

In addition, I started Packed Global, a company focused on sourcing and supplying affordable, high-quality products for businesses around the world. It’s been an exciting challenge, and I’ve learned a lot about running a company and navigating international markets.

Outside of my work in STEM, I love playing tennis and golf. These sports help me relax, clear my mind, and stay focused. I also enjoy chess—it’s a great way to practice strategic thinking and planning ahead.

At the end of the day, I’m all about creating, learning, and finding new ways to make a positive impact, whether that’s through technology, business, or collaborating with others.
