At the 2026 SPRYNG Career Summit, we hosted a wide range of employers and community organizations including: CoreWeave, Volga Partners, Inabia Solutions and Consulting, Inc., Sofy, Washington State Pharmacy Association, Washington Association of Pakistani Physicians, Neuron Labs, Mathnasium of Redmond, Data Science Dojo, EdAI Inc, Pakistani Association of Greater Seattle, SPRYNG, American Muslim Advancement Council (AMAC), Washington Conservation Corps, The Citizens Foundation, USA (TCF-USA), Essentials First, Volunteers of America Western Washington, Women in Aviation International, and Friends of Indus Hospital US.
Additionally, we had dedicated career mentor tables for law, engineering, technology, medicine, and public policy. Each table was hosted by experienced professionals from their respective field. Students had the opportunity to ask these professionals questions about navigating careers, what to expect, how to prepare, etc.
The career summit also featured One Good Act and PICAC's presentation of the Zero to One Scholarship to Batul Siddiqui!
As the technical lead on the AutoAmbuBag project, Batul helped design and develop a low-cost automated ventilator intended for under-resourced hospitals in Pakistan. She engineered software that enables clinicians to control critical ventilation parameters while keeping the design affordable, maintainable, and scalable for real-world deployment. Even more impressive, the project has progressed beyond a prototype through collaboration with the The Indus Hospital with plans for expanded field testing and production.
This is exactly the kind of initiative we hoped to inspire through the Zero-to-One Scholarship: using engineering, technology, and creativity to solve real human problems and create meaningful impact.
