Executive Director
Sagana Chattanathan
Hi! My name is Sagana and I am a senior at Amador Valley High School who is passionate in STEM, especially Astrophysics, Math, and Computer Science. Inspired by these subjects, I created this organization to get more students involved in STEM and create an inclusive learning environment. I am currently interested in the field of Machine Learning and am doing research with image classification. Outside of STEM, I volunteer for humanitarian organizations including Red Cross and American Cancer Society.
