BIOGRAPHY

DSC02659 - Rehaan Karnik.jpeg

Rehaan is a passionate and outgoing Santa Clara High School student and a 49ers STEM Leadership Institute member. Rehaan has thoroughly enjoyed participating in such a positive and motivating environment, where he has had unforgettable experiences and made forever-lasting connections and relationships. He got to showcase his passion for engineering by working with other peers to establish major clubs within the school such as the Mathletes, Computer Science, and Data Science Club.

Rehaan was dedicated to carrying what he learned in his experiences with STEM and spreading it in his local community, in order to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others. Project Invent was the perfect opportunity to do so, as one of the team leads, and Software engineers on Team Overhead, he was able to successfully create an obstacle detection assistive device for a young visually impaired community partner, Omar. Additionally, he helped co-found T-Tuari Math Tutoring, a nonprofit organization designed to help expose kids in the local community to advanced and applicable mathematics concepts.

Rehaan loved being a part of Santa Clara High School and the STEM community, and even joined many clubs and participated on the school varsity soccer and tennis teams, earning multiple recognitions. He hopes to continue to build off his experience and further be able to make an impact as he pursues his interest in machine learning.

The 49ers STEM Leadership Institute (49ers SLI) provides multi-year, year-round academic support, STEM enrichment, skills training, and leadership opportunities to students in middle and high school. Students, who are with the program for six years from 7th through 12th grade, commit annually to 300+ hours of program learning time in addition to their typical school hours. By cultivating student mastery in STEM subjects and in key skill areas, the program prepares students for college and empowers them to pursue their passions; so that they may become the well-rounded leaders of the future. The 49ers STEM Leadership Institute is made possible by the strong partnership between Silicon Valley Education Foundation, 49ers Foundation, Chevron, and the Santa Clara Unified School District.
