My Puksta Project will use technology to develop a program that trains students who are under-represented on many campuses to gain admission and compete for scholarships at these schools.

Project: My Project for this year will be to construct an online platform that efficiently depicts the resources available for the homeless/impoverished community and helps them utilize these resources by making them more accessible.
Inspiration: The rising number of the homeless population as well as the wealth gap that continues to grow in this country.
Future Plans for Project: I hope to be able to provide resources so that the homeless and impoverished population will be able to permanently improve their lives. I hope my work will aid in permanent housing, job assistance, and adequate health resources.

In East Boulder County there are people who are left behind because they don’t have access to the Internet. In today’s world, being able to take advantage of all the World Wide Web has to offer is vital no matter where someone lives and my Puksta Project is designed to make sure location is never a hurdle for people to overcome in order to have access to it.

Project: My puksta project is to create a web app to help connect disadvantaged students to experienced mentor from their community.
Inspiration: I have had a lot of mentorship as I was growing up, and I realize the importance of it. I want to pass it on.
Future Plans for Project: I hope to address important issues such as diversity in the tech industry in the future using this app as a platform to connect females to similar mentors in their community.
