Project Title
How did I get interested in Computer Science?
In my first year of high school, my parents encouraged me to take a C-STEM class and was immediately enthralled. From then on, I took coding classes all throughout high school and fell in love with the methodical, yet interdisciplinary nature of this field.
What social interests matter to me?
I am interested in utilizing the highly disciplinary nature of computer science to help revolutionize many fields, such as clinical trials. By doing this, we can streamline getting effective and useful products on the market faster than ever before to the people that need it the most.
What is my most impactful college experience?
My most impactful college experience has been becoming part of a community filled with like-minded peers, many of whom share a similar cultural heritage. This deep sense of belonging inspired me to start the Illinakia Greek Dance club, a space where I could share and celebrate a cherished cultural tradition with others in the community.
These are a few of my favorite things!
A few of my favorite things would be baking, spending time with loved ones, and reading.

Biography
My name is Eleni, and I will be a sophomore in computer science this year. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, baking, and reading about all kinds of things, fiction and non-fiction. At school, I am secretary of the Hellenic Student Association and President/Co-Founder of the Illinakia Greek Dance club, so I love getting involved and meeting new people. I look forward to meeting my peers in CS STARS and utilizing all this program has to offer!
