Sienna Arellano was very shy when she started her robotics team at Niwot High School in Colorado.
"I have not yet met a student or teacher who isn't passionate," the 18-year-old tells the Longmont Times-Call.
"It inspires you to do more."
Now a senior, Arellano has developed curriculum and taught cybersecurity skills to students and senior citizens as a member of the Innovation Center's cyber tech student team.
She also helped run the Code Zone Challenge coding competition for middle school students, as well as working with a team to design a new cyber bus.
The renovated bus will travel to schools and teach cybersecurity lessons.
"I have the confidence to continue growing and to continue to learn," Arellano says.
She plans to study business and computer information systems at Colorado State University after graduation.
