"One message that I would like to get to young people out there is that it's important to advocate for yourself. It's important to believe in your own abilities and your own strengths and to find your place in the world. Engineering and STEM may not always feel welcoming, but we believe that all neurodiverse people have not just a place in engineering and STEM, but that they are critical for the future of it.  So, we'd really like for young people to see themselves as future creators and join our ranks."
