Founder and President, LITAS For Girls - Website

LITAS for Girls teaches young women in middle and high school to code with a purpose - by using computer science to solve real-world problems in their communities. I began LITAS as a club in my local high school when I was sixteen years old. Today, LITAS has served more than 2000 young women worldwide. As founder of LITAS, I taught Summer Workshops in HTML, CSS, Python, and Javascript in the USA and India. During COVID-19, I began the LITAS Pandemic Task Force and mentored high school girls to create helpful COVID related projects, like the Zip Code Decoder. LITAS also hosts regular Professional Development Panels with women in science and tech careers, to inspire young women with examples of mentors in STEM.

Funded by Johnson & Johnson, Society for Science and the Public (SSP), and National Center for Women & IT (NCWIT), LITAS was Top 5 Globally in the Nature Research and Estee Lauder Foundation’s Innovating Science Awards. Featured in Business Insider and Lifehacker Magazine.
