Women Who Reign: Shuba Prasadh

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” — Steve Jobs

Hi, I’m Shuba! I’m a coding enthusiast, advocate for closing the gender gap in tech, proud Gen Z-er, proponent of dreaming big, and a junior at Parsippany High School. I’m the founder of STEMFuture, an international nonprofit organization whose mission is to equip all youth with essential STEM skills and show them how innovation in STEM is being used to create social impact and change the world. I was also a co-organizer of ByteHacks 2018, an all-women 24 hour NYC hackathon that encourages women of all ages and skillsets to form teams and create tech projects that have positive social impact.
Fun fact: TED/TEDx talks have given me so much inspiration, and I love watching them. My favorite one is “Do Schools Kill Creativity?” by Sir Ken Robinson.
