We encourage you to learn more about our work by visiting our websites:

Our names are Justin, Gideon, David, and Vaughn. We are high school students at Tamalpais High School in Marin County and founders of the nonprofit TAM AIR.

TAM AIR is a student-led initiative focused on protecting our environment through innovation, education, and community action. We strive to conserve nature for a better future by using drone technology and data-driven approaches to monitor and protect Marin’s natural landscapes from wildfire risk and pollution.

Recently, our work has gained recognition through our participation in the Conrad Challenge, where we developed and presented our environmental solution, Sylva. This project reflects our commitment to building real, scalable technology aimed at addressing environmental challenges such as wildfire prevention and pollution monitoring.

In addition, we are actively working toward achieving Clean California Designation, having already completed multiple community-focused environmental initiatives. Through beach cleanups, local outreach, and hands-on projects, we are working to make a measurable impact in our community while encouraging others to take part.

At our school, we are building a space where students can explore engineering, aviation, and environmental science through real-world applications. Our goal is to continue expanding TAM AIR into a platform that not only develops meaningful technology but also inspires action and awareness.

Any support or donations help us tremendously as we continue to grow our efforts to protect the environment for future generations to come!!!
