Telugu Girl In Teen Vogue’s Annual 21 Under 21 List
Indian-American physics pro is among Teen Vogue's 21 Under 21 list of changemakers, activists, influencers, and artists who have made a significant impact on their communities.
Sridevi Krothapalli is one of the '21 revolutionary youth' who have "gone against the odds, making positive change and spreading joy while they do it ”. All of 17, Sridevi has made major moves in science and the arts.
She is a high school senior at Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy who is "heavily interested" in substance abuse, endocrinology, and astrophysics, according to her LinkedIn profile.
“By applying coding skills to physics-based projects in environmental engineering and tutoring other students in physics-oriented topics in my community, I realized my ambition to break the gender gap in physics and mathematics,” she told Teen Vogue.
“I hope to make scientific discoveries that will better the lives of others worldwide,” the high schooler added.
In addition, her talents in art, literature, and philanthropy have allowed her to devote herself to other causes as well.
Kahani, a student-led non-profit that distributes literary and art magazines to children's hospitals worldwide, is the organization she founded and runs today.
With its colourful art, stories, and poems, the magazine is intended to inspire creativity in hospitalized children.
