About

Hi! I'm Adam Stone. I go to Charlotte Latin School (class of '25) in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before moving to Charlotte, I lived in São Paulo, Brazil, and before that, Raleigh, North Carolina.

I love engineering and have always been passionate about building things. I started attending computer science and electronics summer camps like Thinking Feet when I was in elementary school, and I have also taught myself Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, C#, and C++ on Codecademy.com. I've built many software projects, from a mobile game on the Google Play Store here using Unity to many others linked here. When I came to Charlotte Latin School, I began taking Engineering as an elective, learning from Dr. Taylor, Ms. Morrow, and Mr. Dubick. Here is my Digital Portfolio - my documentation from those classes. Some of my favorite pojects include a robot arm controlled via bluetooth with a mobile app (code linked here) and a clock that can be adjusted to any time zone wirelessly.

I'm passionate about musical theater. Ever since I was very little, I have loved being on stage. When I was eight, I was in my first production as Rodger in 101 Dalmations Jr. at the Durant Road Musical Theater in Raleigh, NC. Since then some of my favorite roles have been Michael Banks in Mary Poppins, Billy Cane in Bright Star, and Lord Farquaad in Shrek the Musical. I was a Best Actor Finalist in the Blumey Awards for the past two years for my performances, which was a great honor.

For most of my life I've been involved with Martial Arts. I'm a second-degree black belt in TaeKwonDo and currently train at the Ballantyne Kicks studio with Master Russel Aupied.

I also love learning languages. When I lived in Brazil I picked up Portuguese. I take Spanish at school and am learning Hebrew virtually with Citizen Cafe.

I'm also a Youth Ambassador for the Tourette Association of America. In this role, I advocate for funding and research surrounding Tourette's and tic disorders every year on Capital Hill, as well as educate students and teachers about the condition to promote inclusion and acceptance.
