Diabetes Deep Dive - Fall 2026

This year, Medical Science Kids (MSK) has incorporated diabetes into the curriculum—a natural progression following our students' foundational work in the digestive system and nutrition.

Abhi, our youngest student presenter, kicked off class with a recap of last week’s lesson on diabetes.

This class serves as the steppingstone for our community outreach initiative spearheaded by Project Lead Kate Yoo and Associate Lead Siddarth Sanku, aimed at promoting diabetes education and proactive prevention. As part of this campaign, MSK will be hosting the 1st Annual Youth Congress on Diabetes Prevention in April 2027.

Mahitha Dadi, Mysha Naz and Kate Yoo deliver a presentation on the biochemistry of glucose.

Students entering high school are required to participate in one of the project tracks in MSK. When they enter the 11th grade, they will be invited to take Project Lead along with a Associate Lead to serve as leaders for that project.

Siddarth Sanku, Abi Devineni, Jonathan Nam discuss carbohydrate absorption.

Medical Science Kids is entering an exciting new chapter of growth and impact. The future of medicine is bright, and for these young leaders, the sky is the limit.
