Through his time in the 49ers STEM Leadership Institute, Pranav has developed his technical skills in programming and machining along with his collaboration, leadership and, most importantly, his initiative. With over 4 years of experience in FIRST, Pranav has learned to CAD and use machinery like CNCs, the 3D printer and assembly tools. He has also applied himself to creative projects like a Solar-Assisted Air Quality Data Compiler and guided cannon contraptions. Throughout high school, Pranav has made an effort to spread his passion for STEM and creativity through volunteering outside of school. He hopes to inspire others to delve into the world of STEM and remember to spread it to others. Pranav has also played on the school varsity badminton team for 4 years.

Pranav is grateful for meeting and learning from his peers, friends, mentors and teachers at Santa Clara High School and the 49ers STEM Leadership Institute.
