Hi! I’m Chandhana Sathishkumar, a 17-year-old Innovator, Writer, and Artist from Chennai, India. I’ve spoken at TED, set a Guinness world record, and written a book about neuroscience. I’m interested in making an impact in biotech and am currently working on biochemistry research to create an alternative material to plastics.

My name is Samyak Shrimali and I am currently a senior at Jesuit High School in Portland, Oregon, USA. I have always been passionate about science and technology and have had a strong desire to innovate and make the world a better place. My goal is to change the world for the better and I strongly believe that this is only possible through the knowledge and application of STEM.

I was born in a small village in Nepal where there was no internet and mobile phones. A lot of questions would come to my mind when I used to see aeroplanes in the sky, TV and torch lights. I was always curious. I used to ask: How is it possible to create an aeroplane? How are these things made?It is this never ending curiosity that pushed me to start science projects when I was in 13.
