“I’m a high school student at The Sheffield Private School with a passion for finance, computing, and robotics, particularly in AI, data science, and analytics. I participate in competitions like the FIRST Global Challenge, VEX Robotics, and the App Olympics and lead initiatives like the Girl Up Club to promote women’s empowerment.

Being an extrovert, socializing is key for me as it allows me to interact with individuals to discuss and focus on global problems such as; the gender pay gap or political conflicts. Some of my successes include: my team securing a silver award in the FIRST Global Challenge Competition which is the largest high school robotics competition in the world, and receiving an Immerse Education scholarship for their summer programs for academic excellence. The main reason behind my goals is to utilize technology along with innovations to make a positive change in people’s lives around the globe,” said Poorvasri Sivakumar.
