BIOGRAPHY

Grace_Calfee_Secondary  - Grace Calfee.HEIC
Grace Calfee is an aspiring aerospace engineer and has been a part of SLI for 6 years. Grace has always been interested in the athletics, playing both soccer and golf through high school. She began transferring her leadership experience into her sporting career, moving from team captain positions in both sports to helping coach both recreational and the JV women's soccer teams.
​
Grace has been expanding her experience in the aerospace industry throughout high school, joining a volunteer program at Moffett Field, working on aircraft restoration on a number of different projects. This includes leading a project on a Pratt and Whitney 9 cylinder engine.
​
She has also developed her interests in biomedical technology, as she worked with a community partner and lead a team to design a device to help those with visual impairments navigate their surroundings. This has led to project patenting experience, as they now are provisional patent applicants. Grace continues to look forward to her path through college, expanding her knowledge in the aerospace industry. 
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.
