Jack was spending up to 18 hours a day on his phone. In rural New York, he knew simply taking phones away would not solve the loneliness underneath.
So he built craft carts and mobile spaces that bring creativity, connection, and belonging back into school.
After finding #HalfTheStory through Governor Kathy Hochul’s Instagram, Jack joined the Teen Tech Council and turned his own struggle into action, building an after-school program for his community.
