Joel Acevedo is a scientist-entrepreneur with more than seven years of experience in health and education. Joel has a master's degree and doctorate in psychology focusing on neurosciences. Acevedo has successfully implemented and created technological projects focusing on health and education. These experiences enabled him to be admitted to the university MIT-Harvard Medical School's prestigious program called the Healthcare Innovation Boot Camp.

Prior to this, I had the privilege of serving as a fellow in Dr. Semilla's science program, where I actively

participated in the Human Subjects Scientific Protocol. In this capacity, we engaged with children aged 9-12 years from Boys and Girls Club communities, conducting scientific experiments involving Zebra fish and gaining valuable insights into embryonic processes and associated procedures.

From 2019 to 2022, I spearheaded a pioneering scientific-educational project that harnessed virtual reality technology to enhance the academic performance of children with ADHD. This initiative garnered recognition and acclaim, leading to my nomination as one of the "100 Young Scientists of 2019" by the World Laureates Association—an esteemed organization comprised of Nobel Prize laureates. The prestigious event honoring the recipients was held in Shanghai, China.
