massive congratulations to all the winners! What makes these stories so fantastic is how real and relatable they are—especially Emilee’s reminder that engineering is rarely a straight line and that debugging is just as important as designing. It’s also incredibly inspiring to see high school and university students like Ayla and Janki tackling complex embedded designs and real-world problem-solving so early on. Thank you to the element14 team for creating a space to celebrate these diverse journeys and for showing the next generation that there is a place for them in STEM!

Congratulations to the winners. These are great stories. My only granddaughter is just 10, but I hope she chases her passions like these ladies are doing.

Another great example of why science and math matters.

If you want to go far, you have to have the right tools. Math, Science, and engineering skills are essential!

Hello,

My name is Janki Pisal.

While exploring STEM opportunities, I came across your website and submitted the “Inspire Her Future – STEM Journey” form.

I would like to ask whether it is possible to view the submitted form again. If yes, kindly guide me on how to access it.

Thank you.

Back when I worked in the laser lab, we thought getting a pulse width of a microsecond was good enough, but then we were using a flash pump to stimulate the Nd/YAG rod.

Getting the laser tuned for a short pulse made a lot of difference in the damage a single pulse could do.

In the past ten years, I have had laser work done on both eyes to reduce my Glaucoma pressures.
