Congratulations to this year’s Future Hall of Fame winner, Siddharth Mohan of Middleton High School in Tampa! Hillsborough County Public Schools

Siddharth has already demonstrated extraordinary innovation, leadership, and entrepreneurial spirit. After being diagnosed with asthma at a young age, he turned a personal challenge into a mission to help others by developing Zer0mask — an affordable, portable nebulizer designed to improve accessibility to asthma care worldwide. At just 17 years old, he secured a patent for the device and founded Mohan Engineering Company, a nonprofit focused on bringing the technology to market.

Beyond his impressive engineering accomplishments, Siddharth has dedicated his time to mentoring younger students, tutoring seniors to help them graduate, and creating new STEM opportunities through a rocketry program within his JROTC.

We are proud to recognize Siddharth for his innovation, compassion, and commitment to making a difference. The future is bright!

School might almost be out for summer, but that doesn't mean the lessons should end with the final bell. In fact, summer may be the best season to teach kids the financial skills they will need for a lifetime.

Financial literacy starts early, and the lessons can last a lifetime.
