Governor's Challenge
Governor's challenge is a competition in New Mexico where high schoolers compete to engineer new and creative solutions to problems in the world like pollution or disease. Despite being in middle school, my teacher Sally Greywolf advocated for our participation. I competed in 2019 and 2020 and won in 2020.

Working With Agnes Chavez
I participated in Agnes Chavez's Space Messengers program, and later in her STEMarts Apprenticeship.
The STEMarts Apprenticeship is a program with Agnes Chavez where teenage girls get to work behind the scenes with Agnes working with Agnes on projects such as Space Messengers and her work in the PASEO. Space Messengers is a program where Agnes Chavez used virtual reality to connect kids from the U.S.A and Portugal by putting them into the same cyber space. I got to work with kids from Oeiras, Portugal to talk about our beliefs about space and the universe and also hear the scientific beliefs of the creation of the universe as well as Lakota stories. |

Tech Trek New Mexico
Tech Trek is a program where 60 8th grade girls from New Mexico get to participate in a two week in-person STEM program. Due to COVID-19, the program was online while I attended. However, I still got to learn a lot about what it means to be in the STEM field and basic coding in Arduino, as well as parts that are used with an arduino board.
