Hello! I am a senior at Notre Dame High School in San Jose. I have been participating in science fairs practically my whole life, as my school held one each year since first grade. My 8th-grade project challenged me to apply my knowledge of the maker culture and the Internet of Things to build a simple and efficient device to detect heatstroke and dehydration. This project ignited my passion for engineering and motivated me to start MOT. Over the past 3 years, I have seen the program grow to impact over 200 students across 10 locations! I am very excited to nurture my organization further, and I hope to ignite and foster a life-long passion for innovation and engineering in my students!
