Highlighting a Future Trailblazer—Meet Ella!

March 12, 2024

Ella is a 12-year-old from Arizona who loves conquering challenging hikes like Phantom Ranch in the Grand Canyon, striving to be her best as a Star Scout, and spending summers (five so far!) with iD Tech. She is also on the cover of our ‘24 brochure because Ella embodies our students' essence with her passion for discovery, drive to learn more, and dedication to positively impacting the world. We can’t wait to see how she will continue engineering her bright future at camp, college, and beyond!

What are some of your favorite things about STEM?

“Before I really got into technology, seeing all the things that people did with computers wasn't a big deal. But coming out of a class where I spent a week programming and debugging code just to make a little tiny game, and now looking at gaming and computer technology, I realized how much effort and energy goes into that on a large scale. It's so incredible to think about it analytically and know that someone made this!”

What is one of the biggest benefits from your experiences at iD Tech?

“Last summer I took BattleBots® Camp with VEX Robotics, and I really enjoyed it because it was a great mix of writing code and building the robot. Learning how to build something was a new experience, and I enjoyed being able to troubleshoot when the robot wasn't working or having to fix it when the code wasn't working. It was a big challenge to adapt and fix things, and it was really enjoyable to see it play out and work in the end.”

What’s something in your future you’re excited for?

“I think I can learn so much more from college. There's always new stuff to learn, and you can never know everything! After that, I want to go to the medical field. I’ve taken so many courses in STEM, and biology is my favorite in school. It’s incredible how technology is improving in machine learning and AI, so I’m excited to see how all sorts of technology will evolve.”
