Since joining Pace in 6th grade, Martin has been deeply involved in the soccer program and leads PAALS (Pace Academy Against ALS). Outside school, he enjoys learning about current events and engaging in political discussions with his brother. Additionally, Martin loves watching movies and never forgets to schedule a time to watch his favorite movie, Ratatouille. Martin is eager to replicate and expand on the success of previous Pace Academy TEDx events. He hopes to highlight the individuality of students who challenge the established norms and is excited to work with Kate, Harper, and Mr. Kaufman to create a powerful and evocative event.

Harper Auchincloss joined Pace in fourth grade. She quarterbacks the flag football team and plays soccer for Pace, while also tutoring Lower School students in math and participating in PASS. Outside of school, Harper plays competitive travel soccer, leads a fundraising team for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and is an ambassador for Second Helpings. She enjoys spending time with friends and traveling with her family.
