Nick Visuthikosol is a Manufacturing and Design Engineering student at Northwestern University with a passion for using design and technology to create meaningful impact. Born and raised in Thailand, Nick witnessed firsthand the disparities in access to quality education—especially in STEM fields—and has been committed to addressing this gap ever since.

In high school, he founded AROThailand, a robotics education initiative aimed at bringing hands-on learning opportunities to under-resourced schools. For Nick, the motivation was simple: students in Thailand are just as curious and capable, but often lack access to the tools, mentorship, and encouragement needed to pursue their interests. “What drives me most,” he says, “is seeing students rush to their robotics kits after school, excited to build something of their own. That energy is what I want to support.”

Now, at Northwestern, Nick combines his engineering studies with a deep interest in design and human-centered solutions, always looking for ways to bridge technical knowledge with social impact.
