About Me

My name is Aahana Patel and I am a grade 10 student at Stephen Lewis Secondary School. I am super intrigued by the intersection of AI and AR/VR, and I hope to one day be able to connect people to loved ones in a way that has never been done before.

Innovator

I am in a program called The Knowledge Society, the world's top innovation program for youth. Innovating and creating new products has always been an interest of mine, and will continue to grow with the help of this accelerator program.

Bharatanatyam Dancer

I have been learning the classical dance form of Bharatanatyam for about 6 years now, and will soon be completing my debut performance.

3D Design and Coding

I have experience with 3D design using Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks, and I am also proficient in Python. Through my experience at Headstarter AI, I was able to work on a handful of AI projects, and collaborate with other CS students on our final project. The highlight of this fellowship was definitely the AI Mock Interviews, which have brought many learning opportunities in different aspects of programming. I have worked with languages such as JavaScript, Java, TypeScript, Swift, Python, and HTML/CSS.

Experience/Achievements

Take a look at my experience/achievements over the past couple years.

  • Speaking

    I have given many tech talks across Canada, including a talk about spatial computing in a museum in Waterloo at the AI Encounters: Past, Present, Future event. My next talk is on April 8 2025, at the Women of Influence Luncheon, where I will be discussing how you can leverage oppurtunities to create a path for success.

  • Peel STEM Fest Hackathon Winner

    I won the Best Overall Engineering Project in the Jr. Division at this local hackathon, for my idea of using IOT to create a wind turbine that generates energy by cars passing by on a busy highway.

  • SWE Fellowship

    I have worked on various AI projects through this fellowship including AI flashcards, AI chatbots, an AI pantry tracker, and many more.

  • Published Author

    I have published 2 articles on Medium that have been backed by a publication called Antaeus AR. One article is about the behind the scenes of my Ar Birthday Card project, and the other is on comparing Neural Radiance Fields and Gaussian Splatting, in the world of 3D rendering.
