About Neha’s Change-Making Work

Three years ago, Neha set up ‘Innovation Corner’, designed to spark students’ interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) through virtual and in-person innovation sessions. Neha has since reached 22,800 students around the world, but her dream is to run sessions with over 100,000 children. As a result of Neha’s efforts, students globally are starting to create solutions to real-world problems. Looking into the future, Neha hopes to help children solve some of the world’s biggest problems – like climate change, cybersecurity and medical emergencies –while continuing to encourage more girls to get involved in STEM fields.
