Over her six years in the 49ers STEM Leadership Institute, Siyona has gained knowledge in STEM fields and has grown as a communicator and leader. She has developed her interest in engineering through the numerous competitions and fairs she has been a part of during her time in the STEM program.

Outside the classroom, Siyona is passionate about aquatic sports. She has dedicated four years to the Varsity Swim team and three years to the Varsity Water Polo team. Beyond these, scuba diving has been a lifelong passion she has pursued ever since earning her certification.

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.
