By exposing computer science to these students from a young age, they will more likely realize that a future in computer science is feasible for them and this will help solve the diversity issue within Silicon Valley. In the near future, Shannon hopes to start her own tech company in Silicon Valley geared towards providing internet and computer access to people in developing countries and to show young women that anyone can be a CEO. In her free time, Shannon loves kickboxing, reading self-help novels, dancing to her favorite Taylor Swift songs, competing in SWAT competitions, and serving as captain of her high school’s cheerleading team! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b0271e27d4bda6674c9831/1468204757508-I9F5AOA07H748IKXKMTN/Sharon_Lin.jpg #include Fellows 2016 - Sharon Lin Sharon is a junior at Stuyvesant High School.

For her initiative, Sharon founded StuyHacks, a student-run hackathon in Manhattan, New York. She conducted outreach, attracting students from New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and several other states, especially students whose schools don't offer computer sciene courses. From workshops on Android programming to entreprenership and design, she ensured that the conference attracted a diverse range of students, evident in the 150+ turnout. She has been featured on MLH for her work in organizng the event, and plans on holding StuyHacks again in the near future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b0271e27d4bda6674c9831/1468204760886-I3CZ198TB0LXHWJ0N4DL/Sona_Dolasia.jpeg #include Fellows 2016 - Sona Dolasia Sona is a high school junior from Marin County with a passion for technology. She was first introduced to computer science through her middle school's robotics club. She loved building robots and the exposure to basic block programming encouraged her to learn to code, and aspire to pursue a career in technology. During her freshmen year in high school, she realized that her experience was unique since no other middle school in Marin County offers a robotics program. As a result, she founded Reaching Out With Robotics (ROWR). ROWR introduces middle school students to mechanical engineering and computer science through robotics and has touched over 1,200 students by hosting workshops at public libraries, participating in Bay Area STEM fairs, and running a weekly robotics program at a middle school.

Hylton High School Center for International Studies and Languages. My passion for programing began when I attended Girls Who Code’s inaugural summer immersion program in Washington D.C. and grew as I started to take computer science courses online and at school. Aside from coding, I love taking long walks with my dog alongside the Potomac river and binge watching TV shows on Netflix. I am currently an intern at Girls Who Code’s Diversity & Inclusion department and at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. I am the founder and executive director of Your Girl For Good, a summer mentorship program that that connects high achieving and underrepresented middle school girls from at-risk schools in Washington D.C. with successful female leaders in STEM and business fields. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b0271e27d4bda6674c9831/1468204778203-E60B0R6Y692ESJ9UT8I9/Swetha_P.JPG #include Fellows 2016 - Swetha Prabakaran Swetha is a junior at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST). She is an active member of TJ Coding Lady Colonials (women in computing club), and her school’s chapter of FBLA. Swetha is also a member of the swim team and learns Bharathanatyam, a form of classical Indian dance. Swetha's interest in CS was sparked by an intro to CS class her freshman year of high school. She will work in her school’s Mobile and Web Application Development Laboratory next year and hopes to be a CS major in college. For her 2016 initiative, Swetha founded her non-profit Everybody Code Now!, which grew out of her project from last year! She expanded her SparkIT camps to more schools across the country.
