Home > Flight Crew > 2025 Michigan 12th Grade Kanishkar Kanishkar is interested in pursuing engineering. “Being part of my school’s robotics team inspired me to start building my own website to teach astronomy and astrophysics. It inspired me to start teaching others about STEM courses, and to spark a passion they will pursue. An important factor to consider is being there, and genuinely experiencing STEM yourself since watching may inspire but it will never motivate. In my future, I can see myself not only chasing my passion but also just spreading it to others, as the beauty of STEM may be hidden.”
