Star Student: Aditya Excels In Technology In Manalapan

MANALAPAN, NJ — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

This submission comes from Sada, who nominated her son Aditya, 9th Grade, of Manalapan.

Sada says when Aditya sees a problem, he puts his tech skills to use to solve them. For example, he created a free app to track school bus arrivals.
