“My dad always told me I could do anything,” says Saanya Bhargava, a STEM advocate based in Austin. His advice came in particularly handy during Saanya’s freshman year of high school: After being chosen to join the robotics team (one of only two girls), she noticed that the boys in the group relegated her to behind-the-scenes roles. “They underestimated me,” she says. “I was ready to quit.” Instead, she spearheaded the team’s outreach initiatives, educating the wider community and legislators about being advocates for STEM and garnering support—all of which earned her the respect of her male teammates. “Girls have a lot more potential than some people think,” she says. The team went on to snag the state championship and placed in the 2016 world championship. Saanya also divides her time between two other organizations she cofounded: STEM Advocacy Conference of Texas, which pushes for government funding of STEM education in underserved communities, and impact.gravitas, dedicated to developing alternative solutions to ocean plastic pollution. “By 2050, scientists expect there to be more plastic in the ocean than fish,” she says. Shocked and disturbed by this, Saanya partnered with Dell to produce packaging with 25 percent ocean-derived plastic waste. “It’s so cool,” she says. 📸: @kathylo15 #21under21
