Ilina Singh is young, curious and believes she can make the world a better place by solving problems big and small. She thinks of herself as an artist who loves science. Or is it the other way around? She used to scribble on all the walls she could reach as a young child. And opened electronic gadgets to “see what's inside”. It is Ilina's wish that girls and boys see science and math as equally interesting ways to explore and understand our world and leave it better than we found it. Ilina is a student of Class 11 and lives in Gurgaon with her parents and her dearest dog Uzi.
