SHELJA PATEL
Brookfield, CT

For her Gold Award project, Shelja created free science workshops at her local library for elementary school children. These workshops consisted of hands-on experiments and activities focused on a variety of science concepts. The project benefited area school children by creating an enthusiasm for science and by exposing them to science concepts that they will see again in upcoming school years. Shelja is a student at Brookfield High School and is aspiring to become a doctor.
