In July 2024, during my upcoming 11th grade summer, my nonprofit, Art for a Cause, hosted the ArtnCode Summer Camp. As a 16-year-old deeply passionate about both Art and Coding, I am dedicated to nurturing creativity and enthusiasm for STEM fields, especially among young boys and girls. My aim is to inspire the next generation through my experiences and help them unlock their full potential.

​

Art for a Cause donated 100% of the net profits, totaling $2,400, to SAIVA. This organization works to foster a sense of well-being, belonging, and fulfillment among older adults of South Asian heritage in America through community engagement, education, and advocacy.

​

This cause is particularly meaningful to me because my grandparents, who visit us in Austin from India, often face isolation due to language barriers and cultural differences. SAIVA's efforts to bridge the gap between American and South Asian heritage help combat this isolation and create a rooted sense of belonging.
