Meet Leena

I'm Leena from Olathe, Kansas, and I am a member of the 2023 Flight Crew.

I am part of First Tech Challenge team 6547, the Cobalt Colts, where we build robots and participate in numerous outreach projects to connect with our STEM communities. I'm also a mentor for my local Girls Who Code chapter, have volunteered at the University of Kansas Health System, and love to learn programming languages. I've enjoyed exploring different STEM fields through programming, data science, and medicine.

Fostering a STEM mindset in young girls is vital in lessening the gender gap, which is why I want to participate in STEM mentoring activities in college and beyond. In the future, I hope to go to college and have an impactful career in STEM.
