Yashvee is a passionate and driven student who enjoys exploring the intersection of technology, leadership, and community impact through a variety of activities. She has been part of the STEM program since seventh grade and is grateful for the many technical and interpersonal skills she has developed along the way.

Throughout high school, Yashvee has been involved in FTC Robotics Team Cododragons, where she contributed to the software, hardware, and outreach teams. She also participated in Project Invent, collaborating with a local farmer to develop a squirrel deterrent system designed to protect crops. Beyond the STEM program, Yashvee serves as the president of the nonprofit TinyHacks, where she works with a team of students to teach Python to children from underrepresented communities. She has also help built an autonomous drone capable of detecting the invasive species Brassica Nigra.

Outside of academics and extracurriculars, Yashvee is a passionate traveler with hopes of starting a travel blog in the future to document her experiences around the world. Some of her favorite destinations include Norway, Jamaica, Italy, Alaska, and Spain. She is also a huge foodie who loves trying new restaurants and experimenting with new recipes.

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, ASML, and the Santa Clara Unified School District.
