Building across cultures. Advocating for others.
I’m Logan Liu, a bilingual Chinese American International Baccalaureate student in Silicon Valley.
I build things, lead teams, explore the world, and turn what I learn into something useful for other people.
My hope is to help impact the world in a positive way and help those who cannot help themselves.
What I’ve Done So Far
Areas where I’ve been making an impact.
Neurodiversity + Impact
I am currently climbing six of the highest peaks in Silicon Valley to fundraise over $10,000 for the Morgan Autism Center, a public institution focused on helping children and adults with autism or other developmental differences.
I am an alum of the Stanford Neurodiversity Project – Research, Education, and Advocacy Camp (SNP-REACH). I am part of a team building a website to advance neurodiversity education.
Building + Entrepreneurship
I was a summer intern for the product group at Capacity, a leading technology company that provides a unified AI platform for AI agents, real-time agent assists, and post-interaction workflows.
I was a CIEE Global Entrepreneurship Scholar in Singapore and developed a business plan for a unique hand-held device and pitched it to investors.
Leadership + Storytelling
I am an alum of the Youth Leadership Academy of the International Leadership Foundation. For my capstone project I investigated the growing threat of peptides in Silicon Valley for youth.
I am Editor-In-Chief of the online newspaper of my school, Silicon Valley International School, and help lead ~20 students.
Global Perspective
I am an American bilingual in Mandarin Chinese and English. I have taken over 20 education and study abroad trips to China and Taiwan and have lived with local families.
To date, I have visited over one-third of China’s provinces and over half of the U.S.A. I hope to become someone who can bridge the culture between two of the largest countries in the world.
Beyond the Classroom
I compete in arm wrestling tournaments and placed 2nd in my weight class at a 2025 competition in Modesto. I designed and built my own fully functioning arm-wrestling table.
I run cross country, play classical guitar, and am currently completing The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award.
Different pursuits, same attraction: pick something difficult, understand how it works, and keep getting better at it.

About Me
- I don’t have one neat category for what interests me. I like economics and entrepreneurship, but also journalism and physics. I like technology, but I’m more interested when it changes someone’s real experiences. I’m fascinated by China and the Chinese-speaking world, but equally interested in what traveling through America has taught me about my own country. And I probably spend more time thinking about arm-wrestling mechanics that most people.
